In short, the Yanks have the ability to hurt China economically but US military & navy in the region don't have the numbers/firepower/etc... to deter China from invading Taiwan. The presence of US forces in Indo-Pacific regions is to minimize the China-Taiwan conflict into a regional one and not spilled into SEA & Pacific regions. The strategy has always been to keep China contained but not engaged in a conflict that can escalate into a direct & costly confrontation against China. And then you have Xi's China who doesn't see economic development as a priority anymore (since their economic growth is slowing down) and is increasing CCP's control over the Chinese population, war is just a matter of time.

@dadadas after Russian failed invasion of Ukraine. I don't think China have the confidence to pull an invasion of Taiwan. Just a few months ago, China has already backed down from Pelosi visit to Taiwan. China could have started a war but didn't. So, this signal's us China's lack of ability to go to a full fledge naval war.

@zexsypmp23 They are simply afraid of US sanctions and US direct intervention if the war against Taiwan lasts more than a few days. Chinese want a quick war over Taiwan.

CCP crack down on Chinese big tech / private education companies so that Chinese can only listen to CCP's propagandas about how great Xi Jinping is and have their children brainwashed in the public school system to worship Xi.
Since the suspension of Ant Group’s IPO in November, Beijing has embarked on an unprecedented clampdown of its technology sector. The casualties include some of China’s leading tech companies, such as Tencent (internet conglomerate), Meituan (food delivery), Pinduoduo (ecommerce), Didi (ride-hailing app), Full Truck Alliance (freight logistics app), Kanzhun (recruitment), online private tutoring companies like New Oriental Education and TAL Education, and a crackdown on cryptocurrencies.
On the surface, China’s “tech crackdown” is exactly that: a clash between government power — wielded by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — and what many call the “tech sector.” The reality is more complicated.

At the same time, a development at ByteDance, the world’s largest private technology company, is raising “questions over how much influence Beijing is planning to wield” in China’s tech sector, per Reuters: An entity controlled by China’s central government quietly took a 1% stake and one of three board seats in the company’s key Chinese entity in April, as reported by The Information.
The 1% stake may be symbolic, but it is of a piece with the government’s approach to Big Tech right now: Only companies that cooperate with the state will be allowed to thrive.

As SupChina has recorded in its tech crackdown tracker, after government actions already hit industries such as fintech, ecommerce, and education, state media have recently signaled that other sectors, including video streaming and even online insurance, might be in the crosshairs.
China sees the rapid expansion of private education, both regular schools and after-class tutoring, as having corrupted the public education system and the ideals it stands for. Those ideals — of equity and a common good provided by the country and for the country — are eroding, and regulators want to reverse the trend.
Tencent Holdings-backed (0700.HK) Chinese education firm VIPKid said on Saturday it would stop selling classes taught by foreign-based tutors to students in China with immediate effect to comply with new rules announced for the country's private education sector.
