The best China can do is support friendly groups, build up a lobby in Taiwan like happens elsewhere. Pendulum swings back and forth. Taiwan blows hot and cold.
There are reports of Chinese influence in Australian & NZ domestic politics but what about Chinese interference in Taiwanese politics ?
If it were any good Tsai's party would be sidelined by now. The world has something to learn from Taiwan in this regard.
If the Chinese can start conducting shore bombardment from the Mainland Coast and do it extremely cheaply (ie, under $1000 per shell), then the entire calculus has changed.
Rockets maybe but that $1000 per price tag will be shot
