I agree with Professor Hom that it's very difficult to predict.
What I have tried to say is that because China is driven by all these fears, it could be very likely a miscalculation on one level in the Chinese regime, where they're saying, okay, maybe we have to please Xi Jinping; or Xi Jinping is worried about domestic unrest or the dropping of the GDP and then tries to deflect, feeding the hypernationalism in China. Unintended consequences, or maybe intended consequences, do happen.
So I don't think it's a specific strategy to take Taiwan next, but it's always on the list of something to be resolved.
