China wants Taiwan. While some land in Russia might be nice it isn’t a big deal. They like Russia getting away with attacking Ukraine because it sets a global precedent that large powers can take over weaker powers.

I mean, Russia hasn’t succeeded though, been sanctioned by many nations, and lots of nations are supplying gear to the defenders. That’s not really “getting away with it” and I’m not sure it sends the message to China that you think it does.

What it implies is that China must be better prepared. It may not be a cake walk in the same way Russia or would be, but do long as China is well prepared for the invasion, it will help smooth things over.

They dom’t have to be successful to be used to normalize taking over weaker powers. The world not actively opposing the attempt is still normalizing.

That’s not entirely true. China also likes a weak Russia that’s selling them raw materials underpriced. They like this destabilisation, as long as it doesn’t get out of hand.
