China has the same problem Russia has with Ukraine. A quick victory or total failure. Their dependence on imports and exports makes China even more vulnerable than Russia to being economically isolated. China has more to lose by taking Taiwan than any gains it may achieve.

@thiloreichelt4199 Maybe so ! Ji knows that having his navy bunched up in the strait would create the potential for heavy losses. Protecting the landing forces and logistic train will be critical. They are slow and their movements are predictable.
