If China wants a war, they will start one as soon as they know they can definitely win and are properly prepa. They dont want Taiwan to provoke them into starting one, I dont understand the logic to this at all. They know very well that Taiwan isnt going to shoot down their planes.
I already put a link, its gray zone warfare

Irritate / frustrate. Same Same different.
Yeah, they said you need to leave and he said ‘fuck your mother’.
How can you be certain it’s not an objective.
Why would they want Taiwan to provoke to start a war? What would be the motivation for doing that? If China is confident it can win a war and has also assessed they can handle the costs of doing that, they will just start a war.
When they do start a war, they want to bring as little attention to themselves on possible. The race is then on for the allies to get to the war theater in time to save Taiwan. It would make no sense for them to want to force Taiwan to provoke them into starting a war.
Ships that carry rice,pork,beef,fish(this one especially since their fleet is far flung), soya beans, corn, oil, coal, yellowcake, various raw ores and, etc…, are vulnerable at choke points between source and China.

Seems they will incur more wrath from U.S. Australia Japan etc. if they go unprovoked with an all-out attack on Taiwan, vs. supposedly retaliate for Taiwan shooting down one of their innocent war planes.

Not necessarily a war. Possibly to say that it is the other guy is bad. Typical bully move. It’s is also very much part of the 36 Stratagems.
Also, this war will not be won or lost on a traditional battlefield. Guns bombs war planes/ships are not necessary currently Hollywood and Wall Street are fighting for China on USA soil.
Pick up the gun
Taiwan isnt going to shoot down a plane. Both sides know that. China wants to start a war on its terms
to whom?
No, they arent going to shoot down a plane, so thats not the reason
Gray-zone warfare if trying to win a war without firing a gun . You guys can make up your own theories if it makes you happy though.
Maybe the strategy says Taiwan won’t shoot down a plane. But mistakes happen. Humans are involved. Every time China has planes near, there’s that tiny chance some overzealous (or overly sensitive about mom) human or or AI system (programmed by humans) will actually shoot.
Ok, if you want to believe thats the strategy, then go ahead. China wants Taiwan to capitulate without fighting.
There are piles of articles on this though.
USA, UK, Australia, France, Japan, etc.

It may be time for another US aircraft carrier visit to the neighbourhood.
If Beijing can play around with symbolism, so can Washington.

US aircraft carriers sail through the straits because they want to provoke China to start a war
