Glad to know we take these things seriously. Yes, we do have Chinese clients which we did not talk to about this. Thank you for asking.

war is imminent

No, and even if it were, what of it? Rename it to “Taiwan (Sheet of Radioactive Glass)”?

Now now, the whole rhetoric of the CCP for decades is that they want Taiwan to you know just remember that hey we are all Chinese at the end of the day, and bring them back into the fold.

Glass Taiwan?

Nah.

Get ready for the evaporation of aircraft carriers and their entire support groups at the atomic level.

They might glass US and allied bases in SK, Japan and Crocodile Dundee land if they are actually insane enough to pull the trigger.

As I understand it we should have /some/ more time until the invasion of Taiwan, mainly because they need more numbers of and more reliable marine landing vehicles with greater ranges.

The CPC has also been adamant that waiting decades for reunification is vastly preferable to using violence for the purpose.

Plus the US and friends are the only ones genocidal enough to be "glassing" countries. Saying China would glass Japan is one thing, but how can you say with a straight face that they would do that to South Korea when socialist reunification is essentially the most foundational element of the DPRK, that close ally of China that shares a land border with it? The DPRK might literally fire nukes on Beijing if that happened.
