China's Strategic Moment?: Evaluating the Optimal Timing for Taiwan

In the arena of global geopolitics, the current scenario presents a peculiar window of opportunity. Analyst Velina Tchakarov believes that the month of October could be tactically favourable for China to consider military actions against Taiwan. Factors such as the monsoons, which typically affect strategies in May/July and October, play into this theory. With the US currently entangled in crises in both Ukraine and Israel, this period seems even more significant. However, some geopolitical experts urge caution, asserting that only a major event threatening Xi Jinping's governance would prompt China to mull over a military move on Taiwan. The forthcoming meeting between global heavyweights Putin and Xi in Beijing enriches the backdrop of this discussion. [Source]
