Russia has been caught on the wrong side by starting a war in Ukraine. It has been said in many reports that President Putin himself had no idea that this war would go on for so long and Russia would have to suffer huge losses. However, this war has forced China to think about the Taiwan issue.
CIA Director William Burns said that after Russia's experience in Ukraine, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his military leadership doubt their ability to invade Taiwan. In a televised interview on Sunday, a top US intelligence official stressed that the US must take Chinese ambitions to control Taiwan very seriously. However, he also clarified that this does not mean a direct military conflict.
