Mike Pompeo on whether he thinks the CCP will invade Taiwan

“Xi Jinping is determined. He’s made clear his intention to ‘reunify’ with Taiwan. What tools, what tactics, what timing - is difficult to know.

I only know this, it is not predetermined that he will be successful at that. He’ll be successful at that if we are scared, if we think that taking action to support the Taiwanese is provocative to Xi Jinping. It’s not.”
