China will invade Taiwan about 2024 to 2025.

Currently China still needs to import 5 nm chips from Taiwan. But when China starts making 5 nm chips domestics and don't need to import chips from Taiwan anymore, that is when China will blockade Taiwan to force Taiwan to surrender. I think that happens around 2030.

China isn't concerned about that and is already patenting its own lithographs. Read less consumer magazines. Xi Jinping doesn't go around talking about the need to take over TSMC, he talks about how the first island chain must be dominated by China so China has free access to the Pacific and the world.

He also talks about how the Taiwan issue will not be passed to the next generation... many speculated that the year of the rabbit would be pivotal for varying reasons.
