Former U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair gave a speech in Tokyo on the 7th, saying that China's invasion of Taiwan was "too high a risk (for China)," and expressed his view that it was unlikely to occur in the near future. He answered a question about a series of criticisms within the US government that a Taiwan contingency could occur at an early stage.
Mr. Blair said that compared to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it would be difficult geographically and economically to invade Taiwan. He said that if the invasion failed, he "risked undermining the Communist Party's domestic political control."

America administration had to “scare” the world in order to create fear to the world.
America get to gain arm deals as well as slowing down China’s growth. And more importantly the American will be the “hero” while China will be the evil villain to the world.
They have done it before in Middle East, and they will continue to do it again and again.

Throughout modern history it seem many of these AMDK politicians usually end up misjudging siao lang kind of leaders like Hitler, Putin, Mao, Hussain, Bui kim, Winnie etc. These siao lang do not think and behave like normal people or politicians in a democratized society, to these siao lang with absolute power and control, concerns like economy, human lives, global relations\opinions, environment etc are usually the least of their concerns and not necessary a risk, at least not in their mind regardless of the reality.
So wat appear to be risk in the eyes of normal people may be an opportunity or even considered an advantage for these siao lang dictators instead.
There was a time when the country asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things.
But now, they'll only do it for money.
