Wouldn't invading Taiwan crash China's economy overnight?

Could China will do what Japan did in World War II: Attack multiply targets at the same time? It worked for Japan in the short-term.

You keep saying the Chinese people-not just the leadeship- want war. What do you base that on? Most Chinese I know just want a decent job and an affordable apartment. No one wants to live in a ghost city. They want to live in Shanghai.

I don't know why you would say that. An external military action
might stimulate China's economy. War is good for business.

Japan colonized Korea and attacked Manchuria and China for years
before attacking the United States.

As I've written many, many times, it's a core principle of
generational theory that, even in a dictatorship, major decisions are
made by masses of people, by generations of people. The attitudes of
politicians are irrelevant, except insofar as they represent the
attitudes of the people. The Holocaust and World War II would have
occurred with or without Adolf Hitler.

The Chinese people and leaders are in a state of erotic denial,
thinking that if they attack the US, then the US won't fight, and the
war will be over within 24 hours. They'll score some initial
victories, but once they suffer their first reversal, they'll go into
full-scale panic. After five years of so, having caused massive
destruction to themselves and throughout the world, they'll regret
their decision.

When I talked about short-term wins, I was thinking of the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, not Manchuria.

Wouldn't war destroy China's export market? The US, Japan, Korea, and Europe are the buyers of their goods, not the domestic market. And I thought war being good for an economy was a myth. Doesn't war bankrupt countries?
