Why a China-US war will take place other than the Taiwan Strait, says a former PLA officer

As we grow increasingly concerned with the China Taiwan relations and the Taiwan Strait crisis, former PLA officer Yao Cheng doesn’t believe China will launch a military attack against Taiwan because Xi Jinping knows it will fail. Yao describes CCP's internal process to make the decision. He believes that a China-US war is most likely to occur in the South China sea. According to China’s maritime strategy established by Deng Xiaoping, Taiwan is only one step in the CCP’s plan for the Sino-US competition in the Indo-Pacific region.
