USA regularly threatens military action against Taiwan. China has made it very clear they don’t have any intention to invade. They also don’t have a recent history of invading.
I guess the optics here depends on the sources you’re following. If you only read one side you can get to rather silly conclusions.

Could you provide an example of this please?
> China has made it very clear they don’t have any intention to invade.
I'm quite confused about this. Are you claiming that China has not made threats to invade Taiwan? I find that claim very confusing considering both their rhetoric as well as their military exercises. China even passed an "Anti-Secession Law" which explicitly states that China will attack Taiwan if Taiwan doesn't "peacefully" allow its annexation.
I find your position quite hard to square with reality.

I'm quite curious what "side" you're reading that's leading to to ignore the PRC's own official policy and actions demonstrating their aggression and belligerence towards Taiwan.
Literally anything about the conflict. Look at their posturing, or military exercises. It’s a matter or rhetorics - it’s usually described as helping Taiwan, because, well, that’s media for you.

Could you provide an actual example of this? If the USA regularly threatens military action against Taiwan as you said, providing such a specific example would be quite easy for you.
> Again - you’re not describing PRC’s own policy, you’re describing US state propaganda materials about that policy.
So you’re making the claim that the anti-secession law in which China threatens Taiwan is not official Chinese policy?
