For a decade, Western countries feared the rise of China and what they would have to do to stop it. In the last few years, though, their concerns have reversed. Now the problem is a declining mainland, and what the leadership in Beijing may do with Taiwan it loses the power to do so forever.
But so much that surrounds the conflict is misunderstood: from what causes wars in the broadest sense, to China’s desire to capture Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, to why the United States would want intervene to protect Taiwan, to whether China has the numbers necessary to pull off the feat, to the destruction of dams, to why exactly demographics are working against China, and to how nuclear weapons will shape the conflict. This is what everyone gets wrong about China invading Taiwan.
