Yes, that has historically been the case. This time, I doubt it because it will be a total disaster for the CCP and the PLA. Following reasons are given:kit wrote:The upcoming Chinese economic collapse will force the CCCP to resort to military adventurism in Taiwan and the Himalayas
1) They already "shot their wad" having to deploy in the Himalayas two years ago in fear of Pak losing GB. That has not turned out well at all for the PLA, to say the least. Now they have ended up facing a much stronger Indian Army.
2) The population is restive and mentally strained (under perpetual zero-covid lockdowns) and in no mood or condition for a war effort.
3) The PLA is composed of physically unfit and poorly trained "only child" characters. The PLA is not a war machine, it is mainly an instrument for threats and bullying. That will not work with India nor with Taiwan.
4) PLA weapons will likely cause damage in India and Taiwan, but they will lose territory in the Himalayas and their southern coastal cities will be wrecked. If USA also steps in militarily in the Pacific, its pretty much game over for the PLA, and probably for the CCP in a few years.
