My theory for awhile has been that China will not invade Taiwan but instead invade the "stan" countries involved in the Belt and Road initiative. There were provisions in the loan that said that if those countries don't make interest payments, the infrastructure in that country being funded by the Chinese Belt and Road goes to China. This will cause an uprising that Chinese would put down by force.
The loans are made in US dollars so these countries like Pakistan owes China in $US. As the liquidity tightens up from defaults and the Federal Reserve tightening money supply, those countries won't be able to pay those loans and China will have its excuse to take from their country.
This solves a problem for the Chinese govt having unmarried military aged men because so many families killed the girls during the one-child policy. The numbers would never be skewed like this naturally.
Invading Chinese can kill the men and marry the "Stan" countries' women and start a family. This would make rebelling against the CCP much less probable when shit really hits the fan worldwide.
The Chinese military would also get easy training and experience for invading Taiwan if they later decide to actually go through with it.
USA is not likely at all to care about the "stan" countries. Actually the only ones who might would be Russia and India. India would be their biggest block and I'm not actually sure how they'll get around that. Indians have a similarly sized population and their men have a lot more testosterone than Chinese wimps.
On the other hand, if Chinese govt wants to just quickly kill off the extra chinese men to stop them from rebelling against CCP later, they can invade Taiwan sooner but it'd be a waste overall.
