Telling someone their family is going to get it if they keep doing what they do is quite some distance away from... straight up bombing them.

I am not sure I am following you. Who are you implying are the bombers and during what time period?

As for China not bombing anyone, while true, I believe it's merely a matter of time. While I hope I am wrong, Taiwan seems awfully worried to be located about 80 miles away from their peaceful and loving neighbor for some reason.

And you think China won't bomb foreign adversaries if they can? Or any country for that matter.

The answer is don't place yourself in the crosshairs of great powers in the first place, which then puts into the degree you can align yourself with their interests.

And anybody who happens to be nearby.
