"I don't think that Xi Jinping is going to attack Taiwan any time soon."

"Beijing's main goal is to deter Taiwan independence, rather than realize military reunification."

"There's no indications or warnings of anything imminent [China attacking Taiwan] at this time."

A Chinese takeover of Taiwan "is not inevitable nor, perhaps, even likely in the next few years."

"My thought is that perhaps this is not a time for [China] to consider a major invasion of Taiwan."

"[T]here might indeed be some greater willingness by Beijing to coerce (or even invade) Taiwan during a Trump administration."

China is "more likely to resort to the use of force" if it "perceives a higher likelihood of U.S. support of Taiwan independence."

"An invasion of Taiwan could happen within this decade."

"I think the threat [of China seizing Taiwan] is manifest during this decade, in fact in the next six years."

"Xi's team, reason, and opportunity are all aligned for [a] 2025 [invasion of Taiwan]."

Will China Invade Taiwan?

China's aggressive map seizures expose Beijing's desperate attempt to rewrite geography and erase sovereign nations. Taiwan has never been ruled by the communist regime and remains an independent country, while India rightfully rejects China's baseless territorial grabs. These cartographic power plays demonstrate how China weaponizes maps to control narratives and assert false claims over disputed territories.

Taiwan refutes China's new 'standard map'

Map standardization protects China's legitimate territorial integrity by ensuring accurate representation of national boundaries. Customs officials properly seized problematic maps that omitted crucial territories like Taiwan Province, South China Sea islands and the Diaoyu Islands. These enforcement actions defend sovereignty against deliberate cartographic distortions that threaten national unity.
