Keep digging a grave for USD.
I guess brokering a truce between Saudi Arabia and Iran and basically upturning the situation in the Middle East, visiting Russia, getting Global South to ditch the dollar, getting OPEC to cut oil/gas production during rate hike etc. is doing nothing and a low profile visit by renegade province is the epitome of acoomplishments?
Flying beyond the median line does nothing to actually meaningfully defeat Taiwan independence, or promote reunification. Its still international waters according to global norms. If they were really dominant, they will be flying over Taiwan just like Israel flies and Bombs whatever country they want in the middle-east.
Even India had the guts to fire missiles into Pakistan saying they hit "terrorist camps". China doesn't have the guts to hit "Taiwan Independence camps" for example. And they have good reason not to. Because, again, its beneficial for them to keep the tension low and focus on increasing China's GDP and military power.

You should not mistake Chinese restraint for weakness, redditor.
He thinks the Russians lost several trillion soldiers in Bakhmut. No point in indulging in his fantasy world.
Just another opportunity to have large scale exercises in case armed reunification is necessary (hopefully not)
Enjoy 134 years of "Freedumb & Democrazy" in an American Supermax ya racist bioweapon unleashing maniac. Would have been great to see that warmonger John Bolton and fat bastard (not anymore) Pompeo playing cards with their former boss in the same prison but naah they're part of the neocon deep state gang and they have taken the decision to meet their fate at the tip of a Hypersonic DongFeng.
And on "Chinese internal politics" thread he attempted to argue there is a widespread discontent amongst young and educated Chinese with CCP and its policies and used comments on twitter and reddit as his evidence

And the commotion with people running around to and from the ROC does nothing meaningful either. Between the two, military drills familiarizing with terrain and enemy tactics is far more useful. It's not that China has lost any deterrent against the West; China never had it. Before, it was seen as pointless to provoke a China that wasn't making the West uncomfortable. But now, things are very different. It's an extremely high-hanging branch for China, or anyone, to disallow a group of people from visiting another group of people unless said country had control over either group. If the Mainland took control of the ROC, that's game over. Rather, we are seeing these interactions between the ROC and Western nations not because China has lost any deterrent or anything, but it is because China has gained too much progress, in its national development, it's tech, it's economy, it's currency use and diplomacy, making the West fear for its future. Because it has no meaningful moves to counter China, it must reach for the lowest hanging fruit for spite, not utility, which is to uselessly visit and invite visits from the ROC officials. This is the temper tantrum; China's response is to make the best out of it and use it as an excuse to normalize more military activity around Taiwan Island.
