If they weren't ripping people of with every purchase there would no need for a "discount". I was the "guy" who was forced to replace our really nice Commodore Pet computers with that crApple BS in HS. Apple never did anything for the schools that they didn't get paid for. Their software SUCKS, their networking SUCKS. In an effort to be "cool" and trendy apple has made supporting their stuff annoying time consuming.

If they do invade, EVERYONE is in troublel. But it seems as though Xi has been purging his party ranks and generals, meaning that something is very wrong in the CCP structure and in the PLA. The current CCP plan seems to be to work on the KMT and force a peaceful reunification under PRC rule since the PLA may just not have the readiness or capability. Xi may be hyperparanoid, but he definitely will not risk a botched invasion of Taiwan especially when he knows he can purge anyone that dares to criticize him for taking too long to deal with the RoC.

In my opinion, the only way the invasion continues on schedule is if the PRC gets their shit together in very short order, which doesn't appear to be happening. Rot runs deep in the CCP and PLA, and China may never fully recover from that.

China has its own problems. They may not be quite as big a threat as people imagine, especially now that their cheap oil has been cut off and their belt & road initiative has started to fall apart. Not to dismiss them entirely, but if they don't invade Taiwan next year then you know they're in trouble.
