In modern times major powers invade other countries to distract from domestic issues. Putin did it, Bush did it, etc.
The official reasons given differ but generally are just an excuse to drive the nationalism which is the goal of the war in the first place. China's government seems to be doing well enough right now to not need that trump card.
- mschuster91 3y ago> Bush did it While I agree that the Iraq war was completely out of any legal boundaries (unlike Afghanistan), it had never been the intention of the US to pull a land-grab war and turn Iraq into the 51st US state. The invasions of Putin however clearly were, and so will a potential Chinese invasion into Taiwan assuming they'll stick to their actions in Hongkong.
