> will lead to war This is in event of an war. Legally, so is blockading PRC, including food and energy imports which is not an unfamiliar discussion in US policy circles. As for cyber, US DoD / Biden also explicitly communicated to both PRC and RU that cyberwarfare on critical infra = actions comparable to war. I don't know if cutting fibre is a joke, there's millions of PRC diasphora, unless US disconnects from internet globally, that's assuming PRC agents aren't state side already. So the real question is, does the US know better than to intervene when PRC attempts armed reunification with TW, which seems increasingly likely while bills are being drawn in congress to boost TW into major non-Nato ally? Because if US does, there's no telling how things will escalate, especially when modern connectivity and increasing PRC missile capabilities means CONUS is no longer safe. Incidentally, I think both sides knows this, on paper but frequently, better judgement gets overriden by domestic politics.
