irrespective of what happens during or immediately after this pelosi visit, the path for future escalation between CCP and U.S is set one way or the other. fact remains that a wealthy country of non-european stock publicly mobilised it's military as a show of strength against a incumbent superpower, these sort of things have consequences in medium to long term.

no peace treaty can undo this now.
Indeed, and US goes to many great lengths to suppress any protentional superpower, after ww2 they fought head to toe with ussr until it dissolved. Little people know when japan economy was exploding US came with aggressive policies like Plaza Accord and more to damage japan economic growth.
US doing same with china, it is fighting china everywhere, until 2050 china is a threat to US superpower, so we will see lot more US-China fight and at the same time china can't afford full scale war yet because its military is still no match to USA.
When it comes to india, once india gdp reaches US gdp, they will pursue india as a potential threat. thats why they kept pak as alley, US dont give a shit about democracy or rules based order, many times they dethroned democratically elected presidents and installed military dictatorship, the best india can do is don't damage relationship with russia because of china-russia strategic friendship.

possible but those islands are inhabited , taking land with people in it is tricky .

if China does it , Taiwan could declare independence . then Xi Jingping will be truly fucked because he has no other option but to go to war immediately.
And lose big time in front of the world. He would lose face. BIG TIME.

Mao gave china - cultural revolution
Deng Xiaoping - economic revolution
Xi - nationalism.
She jinping whole idea to stay relevant floats around imposing nationalism promoting century of humiliation from coming out of stealthy growth to become an open aggressor. This might be the reason to bad mouth bidden and this whole crisis can also increase nationalism among people thuss making jinping agenda to become more dominant.
