Today's (10/30) Epoch Times paper has another article on the infighting among Chinese leadership, showing that no one is really in charge now. While Xi is still out in front of the cameras, there is obviously a serious power struggle going on. It's very uncertain who will win out, if anyone. The end result can very easily result in civil war, and breakup of China. As in my title of this note, with no one in charge of a very divided China, it's unlikely anyone will be able to successfully give the order to invade Taiwan. Lewis B
