considering the current state of the world and things like the resurgence of fascism and other authoritarian ideologies, do you think there is still a chance to avoid a new world war or now is unavoidable?

What makes you think China will attack Taiwan before Christmas?

I am 100% sure this is sabre rattling.

Maybe I missed it but that article doesn't say anything about Christmas, December, or any actual timeline of when they plan to attack. Where does it say "before Christmas?"

I didnt downvote ya there.

That was a quick Google result it might not be in that article. I just chose it because AP. There's dozens of articles about conversations between Xi and Biden.

The discourse is generally "By 2025" "in 2027" and "before 2030". Given the discourse and tension in the South China Sea, it looks very much like a "By 2025" situation. Just my bet. Ties into computational supremacy, embargos, TSMC, Taiwan reunification, and more.
