Those privileged to lead mighty China, today (at a point in time, when it is growing increasingly prosperous and becoming ever more influential globally,) must eschew the little mindedness, which led Putin's Russia to undertake its disastrous invasion of Ukraine, in their unhelpful and shortsighted bellicose attitude towards Taiwan.
