** 10-May-2020 World View: China's invasion of Taiwan
You're absolutely right about setting the stage. If there's to be an
invasion, then the CCP has to prepare the public for it, and the
referenced article is a good way to do it -- preparing the public
while maintaining deniability. An invasion is inevitable because the
CCP has said that it's inevitable.

Sunday's street protests in Hong Kong make it clear that the chaos in
Hong Kong is going to return full force. The CCP will have to take
Hong Kong by force when they take Taiwan by force.
