A few bits of important China news today so I probably thought it deserves it's own thread.
It doesn't seem as though China are deterred by Russia's experience and sanctions are already being planned:
Xi poised to build support on Taiwan with senior military picks
Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to stack the country's senior military leadership during next month's Communist Party congress with loyalists aligned on his goal of unifying Taiwan and the mainland.
Xi serves concurrently as general secretary of the Communist Party and chair of the Central Military Commission, the top decision-making body for the armed forces. Four of the commission's seven members are due to retire at the twice-a-decade congress in mid-October.
Much attention is focused on how Xi, who is all but guaranteed to receive a precedent-breaking third term as China's top leader at the event, will fill the vacancies on the military commission given his belligerent stance toward the U.S. and Taiwan.

U.S. considers China sanctions to deter Taiwan action; Taiwan presses EU
The United States is considering options for a sanctions package against China to deter it from invading Taiwan, with the European Union coming under diplomatic pressure from Taipei to do the same, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The sources said the deliberations in Washington and Taipei's separate lobbying of EU envoys were both at an early stage -- a response to fears of a Chinese invasion which have grown as military tensions escalate in the Taiwan Strait.
In both cases, the idea is to take sanctions beyond measures already taken in the West to restrict some trade and investment with China in sensitive technologies like computer chips and telecoms equipment.
