Honestly, Russia invading Ukraine, the global economic response to Russia, and China seeing all of that... probably saved Taiwan. China doesn't have the natural resource base within its borders (they're digging up their iron ore reserves faster than any country, and they have to import oil) that Russia does. Consequently, economic sanctions slow their economy down a lot faster than Russia's. War may be an internal unifier... but unemployment, poverty, and scarcity is a rapid internal disintegrator.
