The Chinese have always made it clear that they will annex Taiwan to China at some time, by military force if necessary...

Triggering events are triggering events, and HK smells like one to me.  Xi needs to win one, and Taiwan is a big one, albeit not easy.  You've been looking for a crisis war, and this may be the entre.

Neither the problem of Islamism nor that of Global Warming has a solution (yet), but some idiots want war between the US and China...

Never underestimate the power of hubris.  Big egos want to be stroked, and some, like DJT, need it more than life itself.
