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.
