#1 "Illusory sovereignty" - whoa, haven't heard those terms in a while.

I strongly doubt Beijing will wait until 2047 - the spectre of forecasted widespread Energy, Water, Food? shortages alone occurring + spreading throughout China should preclude that.

* ION TOPIX/MIL FORUMS > TAIWAN: CHINA [now]HAS 1800 BALLISTIC MISSLES AIMED AT US, as up from 1600 BMS a short time back. The number of BMS aimed by Beijing at Taiwan is anticipated to keep rising as China modernizes its PLA.

ARTIC > PERTS = CONTROL OR POSSESSION OF TAIWAN IS KEY TO CHINA'S BREAKOUT INTO WESTPAC + OTHER FAR PACOAS, Taiwan proper is part of the "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" OF CHINA'S STRATEGIC POWER PROJECTION = that is also CHINA'S ARC OF NATIONAL, GEOPOL ISOLATION/CONTAINMENT extending from Japan all the way down to the Philippines [+ Malaccas Straits, SCS].

IOW, BEIJING = THERE WILL BE NO CHINESE SUPERPOWER IN THE PACIFIC WIDOUT TAIWAN, NO TAIWAN = PLA MUST PEPARE WAR OPTIONS/MILPLANS AGZ JAPAN, ROK, + ASEAN, NAM NATIONS.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > RISE OF CHINESE DRAGON COULD SPLIT NEW ZEALAND.

Ditto AISTRaLIA as per Beijing's alleged desireto set up PLA bases in EAST TIMOR.
