2. US will see the rise of China challenging its global influence, leadership and supremacy - and will continue to actively contain China through various means.

@Babe B. Notably, US will intensify playing of Taiwan against China (in which China is most paranoid with). Unless China can come to term and not let Taiwan issue - make China mad and start a war ---- then conflict within Asia Pacific region will be greatly reduced.

Dispute in South China Sea, East China Sea, China-India border --- is not a big issue that China is willing to wage war. China by nature treasure peace and wealth over war and conflict - except Taiwan in which China view as its historical thorn in the flest and must reunified. If China can overcome such intense desire over Taiwan - by playing long, playing calm and cool - to win over Taiwan with wits and wisdom --- then unlikely US can provoke China to start a war. Hence,  China -- need to develop a high Emotional Resilience - to wait out for a better outcome to reunify Taiwan and not let itself be provoke into a must fight war ---- and unravel the peace and prosperity that Asia Pacific has thrive on for more than 5 decades/ half a century.

After all, Taiwan is only an island - smaller than many of China provinces - and many China provinces produce higher GDP than Taiwan. So China won't go hungry without Taiwan. The only crux that make Taiwan so important for China - is because PLA fought a civil war with KMT army - due to ideology and the right to govern.

If China is able to play long, keep its cool, use creative response to Taiwan independence provocation or US provocation - without the need to be angry, mad and threat to invade --- then China can reunify Taiwan in the long run without the need to commit a troop or fire a shot. Use wisdom and wit to win a war - not with troops and bullets.

US can provoke China, because China response to provocation - and response in a predictable ways. If China play cool, play long, with wits and wisdom - instead of reacting in a predictable way - than US can't provoke China and Countries around China won't feel China as hostile. Suntze Art of War - is to make your enemy angry - and then your enemy will respond with a predictable way - when you can exploit to win the war. China is the originator of Suntze Art of War - but yet US have deploy this strategy plus strategy of encirclement by forming allies and blocs against China so effectively.

Wonder why China fall into it?

That is each time China get mad when US provoke by bringing up Taiwan issue - US will continue to do it - so as to get China to act rashly - and then all its wealth, influence, reputation and relationship with the World fall into disrepute - when China launch a war ---- result China successfully contained and fall far behind US.  Because China is willing to be "led by the nose".

1. There is a concern that Taiwan will want peaceful reunification with China - because they want freedom and election. 2. Just look at Finland, Sweden - who are neutral for very long - but now they willingly want to join NATO - without NATO forcing them.

3. So it is entirely possible - if China is able to convince Taiwan that China governance system, economic development, social freedom can win Taiwan over in the long run.

@Babe B. All they have to do is look at HK to know what those promises mean.
