Seems like if russia really was unhinged warmongering then why wouldnt china use this world distraction to take some land of his own?

The water that divides China and Taiwan is exceptionally bad during most of the year. Spring is the only time you can station naval vessels there and not have them torn to shreds by aggressive waves and storms.
Two:
Who says he isn't already moving?
Three:
Who says China is gonna take Taiwan? Is it possible Xi might dissolve the CCP and hand power over to Taiwan after an aggressive period of financial liquidation? Will they make it look like Evergrande slipped the rug out from under China in a massive scheme to explain why Xi Jinping felt it necessary to go to war with Taiwan, only for Taiwan to attack China's economic weak-point and win through a battle of financial attrition? Is Xi a White Hat, or is he gonna abandon this plan and try to go full dictator over China? Time will tell.
Very good points
Whether or not Xi is a white hat, he's playing the role of villain. He's either full tyrant or good actor.
I'm leaning on the water being the better answer. 3 days from now is the last 4 year delta on Q's second "watch the water". Could refer to Taiwan's water as we approach spring (not that I claim this assertively, just theorizing).
China will almost certainly go for Taiwan when they see an opening, I'm sure. Xi dissolving the CCP would be the sort of clown world we'd hope to live in, but that is not the reality at present. At least for now.
Great comment. Solid thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
