The DS thought they had enough control over China's government. They wouldn't need to set up a proxy puppet like Ukraine.
Xi Jinping ultimately will do what's best for China as he is a patriot and so stabbed the DS in the back. Hence Soros is really pissed. China has no love for Soros either.
He is systematically routing out their cancer mainly Jiang Zemin who is the Chinese version of Clinton and his people.
My guess is Taiwan will eventually peacably go back to China at some point in time.
You have to understand the sheer crap that is the CHinese government. If you think the DC swamp is bad you have no idea how corrupt their government is.
They were the largest recpient of foreign investment by far over the last thirty+ years and were a huge chess piece for the DS. The graft and corruption is unimaginable.
Xi is doing his best but they are so entrenched he can only do so much. It's clear though that Xi Putin and Trump are all working together to eradicate the DS once and for all.
