Why would they invade? I struggle with that logic. It's an obstacle in the way of expansion. Remove the obstacle. Conventionally there is political, economic, or an invasion. But unconventionally there are nukes. Would China nuke doubtful.
But it could rein thousands and thousands of missiles on it. While bombing it into oblivion. Until it capitulates. If America and others don't defend it. This is still very debatable and to what extent. The problem is the limited return from Taiwan, who has some capability to fire back within extents. But by then it is virtually levelled.
We aren't talking WW2 here. Notorious Islands and invasions Britain, Sicily, Iwo Jima, D-day, etc, etc which were hell. There are missiles today. Thousands and thousands, backed by bombers, drones, and an encompassing navy. Where as soon as population centers get hit, it will strain that population, as China seiges it out. Unless it is supported by other Navy, Airforce. It will fall hard fast.
That's if it comes to it. If China wants to lose whatever image it has made, and any other economic ties globally.
No, I don't agree with that assessment. They have the manpower to throw at it. But why would they. It's an obstacle. Obstacles are easier removed. If they cannot be coerced.
No. By then we are talking nukes. If America or allies rally to defend it. Because it goes naval. And they get hit. Warfare, human rights on an insubordinate population, China has shown it isn't much of a concern. So yea it would German the crap out of it. Blitz it. It would encompass it and cut off supply lanes. While blotting out the sky with arrows, missiles. Literally it has been amassing these with its airforce. In reverse it would be that other war they lost against Japan. Japan filled the sky with arrows on a drowning fleet. Here there's no need to D-day until they commit to terms. On a relatively small densely populated, fortified Island they target population to make them yield. Does it draw unconventional warfare into it. By then it's a superbowl. NK lights up SK, and etc. Now everybody is firing
Invading I just don't see it happening until it has been isolated. Of course it shows these amphibious transports in its exercises, nobody does that anymore until you have crushed your opposition into yielding. There are far easier ways to do that, by air, sea, and missile. Of which China has thousands.
The biggest questions remains, does it. If it does to what extent does everybody else defend it.
No, I don't agree with an assessment of it cannot. When the population gets hit, and hit real hard, what happens.
Not if it's a bottleneck. Simply pop the bottle open. It all floods out.
So there is this dam in the way. It's holding up a huge area of your regional coastline, but you don't control it. It is becoming increasingly unaligned. Something is gonna give. At some point. Otherwise that dam blocks progress.
Wargames aren't just for show. You gotta play war at some point, or your soldiers could turn on you.
But who knows. Not my business. Although this issue is bound to occur. When, not my place to guess.
Yes I hate nukes more. But even then they're an inevitability. They will get played at some point. Because they're there. If that's the winning move you assume. Not moving. Because there's some other notion of deterrence. Although they haven't deterred. There are more nukes today. I wonder what happens next decade. Like previous. Oh look there's more. Prior what went wrong. Look there are even more. Until what happens.
But they're moving. It's inevitable Taiwan becomes a country of its own sovereignty. It is therefore inevitable China tries to reclaim it. How remains questionable and to what extent does everybody else become involved.
