Since you mentioned the Economist, here's an article from Feb 18th, 2021 - China faces fateful choices, especially involving Taiwan (https://www.economist.com/china/2021/02/20/china-faces-fatef...).

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking about. Certainly a different tone from what I remember reading back then.

You are looking for sources that will predict the future with accuracy?
Taiwan is definitively on the next because it is way too close in distance to China for its own good.

No, I was looking for sources that would talk about the "certainty" of invasion by China (in a large enough interval, from let's say tomorrow to 10-20 years into the future), like I said, about 10 years ago that was not the official discourse.
"Predicting the future" would be to ask for a specific date/time interval for that supposed invasion, which I did not ask for because that would have been a reasonably difficult task to predict, I concur.
Not saying that you're wrong, because you seem much more informed and involved on/in this subject than I am, but from half the world away I can say that around 10 years or so ago that "certainty" wasn't that "certain", so to speak, at least not from what I could gather by reading the "local" press (mostly the Financial Times and The Economist).
Do you happen to have any resources available that further comment on that certainty? Again, not because I'm thinking that you're wrong, but because I'm really curious about this subject (there was a similar Taiwan-related post on the front-page of this website a few days ago but it dropped off pretty quickly).
