They want Taiwan. That's for sure. But they don't want war. War is a last resort action they will go to, to get Taiwan.
But war with the US? They don't want it and are trying to avoid it at all costs.
Taiwan is none of the US's business right? The war here is in actuality really just the US starting it. The US in the end will have to make a choice here. Do we fuck with China and Taiwan or do we not?
So in short. They want Taiwan. War can happen because the US is trying to start war. So the barges you see are in preperation for that.
Do you mean they don't "want war with the US"? Because right now you seem to be saying that China "doesn't want war, they just want to annex another sovereign country".
Likewise, I wouldn't describe having defensive allies as "trying to start war". That's starting to sound like the Russian "we're only bombing them because they didn't immediately surrender, so it's their fault" school of thought.
