Online Public Relations Thoughts

 An alleged leaker said China had planned to invade Taiwan in the Fall and had suspended its preparations for the time being because of Ukraine.  One wonders why.  A partial reason is that China depends on exports to survive and a boycott of its goods would put the country into a tail spin.  The worst case scenario, however, would be for both China and Russia to be at war at the same time.  The US couldn't support a two-front battle and would have to abandon either Taiwan or Ukraine just when they needed weaponry.  There is no good positioning of a situation like this.  There are no words to make it right nor to salve concerns.  One hopes the leaker was wrong or making things up.
