Reason its peaceful is because the US is dominating China militarily and this isn't going to change in the relevant theatres

China's dtrump test is whether dtrump is talking about Taiwan. He is silent and Taiwan will smoothly be part of China in due time.
And last time dtrump was haranguing with China and world got Covid19. Wish dtrump not to disturb China.

Keep in mind he doesn't have to say anything unless provoked. Doubt China will test his resolve on Taiwan
Oh and what makes you say that?
Smoothly means ROC chooses to join PRC which it was never a part of
How's Hong Kong now, anybody discussion about HK ?
Same way, let us see what time have to show us.

There is no same way. If HK refuses China can send the military. So they had no choice but to accede.
But ROC is an island. Never been a part of the PRC.
It is 100 miles away from the Chinese coast. There is no way for China to take ROC without extensive casualties. Think 100k only kid PLA dead.
Never going to happen
This is what military people experienced in war have told me over twenty years ago. The only people who go on about it are those with no military experience.
Taiwan is already de facto independent and there isn't a thing the PRC can do about it
Since China hasn't said anything about Taiwan. They aren't stupid. Trump hasn't had to say anything.
Also consider the US policy towards Taiwan is that of strategic ambiguity. Which is an interesting Asian way of thinking from a western power. US doesn't expressly say what it will do but the last couple of times there was a straits crisis in the 50s and the late 90s, the US sent a couple of carriers to calm things down. In short its too much of a risk for China to take.
