Who is provoking the Taiwan Strait War?

[Regnum] Tensions continue to escalate between the two shores of the Taiwan Strait. Recently, Taiwan accused China of nineteen PLA Air Force planes flying over its islands and territorial waters; they allegedly "violated" the island's airspace. Taipei said it was the "largest" violation in the past three months (the period since June, when the Taiwanese authorities resented the "invasion" of 28 aircraft).

Be careful, very careful when you try to paint someone into a corner

#2  China is utterly dependent on middle east oil. A naval blockade would be trivial to arrange, either in the Persian Gulf or Strait of Malacca. Then they run out of oil in 2 months.

#1  * China can't feed itself
Trump cut off chinese access to high end chip making equipment so they will soon be left with exporting plastic crap.
Dems have started pushing a Plastic tax (stupid move but would really hurt China).
* President favored by China is super-unpopular.

I think Pax China may be over before it really began.
