Mao Zedong seemed to have carved out a fortress on the mainland. Why an offshore "fortress" in the first place? If so, why not the "fortress" being the island of Hainan? For that matter, North Korea could also work. Incidentally, Hainan Island is where communism started in the China empire. Also, know that the China empire is not exactly a homogeneous one race of people. Rather it is diverse with many different ethnic histories. This is similar to Europe in that regard but now instead with one predominant language. As far as conquest resulting in different dynasties, eastern China is like an Autobahn to which invading armies swept through from every direction. In this sense, it acted as an economic crossroad like Palestine tends to be.
Also, if the Chinese do take Taiwan they'll have the global chip supply by the balls at the same time Russia has the oil supply. We'd be pretty well fucked.
I haven't even bothered to look up the official explanation of the CHIP act because I'm 90% positive it means they're gonna tank whatever domestic usa chip production might form in response to China taking Taiwan. Whatever they say it is will be another misdirection.

Naw, I'm not buying the logic here.
Hainan was my thought too.
