Reuters reports an assessment by sources familiar with US thinking.

US officials consider a Chinese invasion of Taiwan before 2028 increasingly unlikely, Reuters reported on 1 October, citing people familiar with their thinking. This is an assessment, not a guarantee. The report distinguishes Beijing’s military-readiness goals from a decision to attack. The Pentagon declined to comment, and China’s foreign ministry and embassy did not respond to the agency’s request.
