The Russian military has lost in Ukraine. Even Putin is making noises about negotiating an end to the conflict. The only real question is where the borders will be marked between Russia and Ukraine when this bloody, ugly war comes to an end. The Soviet Union is finally dead. Any notion that Russia could reconstitute its empire has been dispelled. Putin will be lucky to survive this debacle.
I suggest stop reading Reuters' propaganda sources. The Russians are about to invade Ukraine with catastrophic consequences for what's left of the Ukrainian military & their country.
But the answer is yes. Xi Ping can do whatever he wants to weaken U.S. resolve to effectively respond to any CCP provocations. Col. Macgregor should be the competent source to rely on: https://youtu.be/l6oiSxp1ka0. Col. Macgregor's analysis provides invaluable insights into understanding Russia's motives, actions & military capabilities: https://weltwoche.ch/daily/this-war-has-been-lost-a-long-time-ago/
>>If you were Xi when would you move against Taiwan?
Once the CCP puppet in the White House - acting under guise of the "Green New Deal" has depleted U.S. energy supplies and production capabilities, "vaccinated" its military with slow-acting immune system sabotage, and depleted military stockpiles (sending them to Ukraine) - has neutered U.S. capability to defend Taiwan even for a short while. Indeed, the U.S. may cede Taiwan without a fight.
Then - once Taiwan is taken and the USA demonstrated to be a hollowed-out shell leader wise and militarily - Australia, Japan and the rest of the Western Pacific will have not choice but to accept vassal state status with the PRC.
