yeah if you can't defend the islands against 5 coast guard cutters it might be time to rethink strategy

apparently there are 125,000 people on these islands too

A land invasion of Taiwan would be difficult. Mountainous terrain and armed to the teeth. China would have to absorb WW2 Pacific/D-Day/Sicily style casualties, unless they blockade and/or bomb it to hell. That would cause massive international condemnation, which China would like to avoid since they like to portray themselves as peaceful, non-imperialist etc. Though maybe they’ve reached the point where they don’t care about international disapproval, in which case goodbye Taiwan.

I agree that Taiwan proper is a critical interest (at least for now) but lmao at starting a war over some islands that are this close to China

The fact that China hasn't even bothered seizing these islands on some pretext in the past 60 years, imo, indicates that their odds of invading Taiwan itself are a lot lower than estimated by war hawks.

there is literally a 0% chance of china ever "invading" taiwan. even if the united states didn't exist, they would not "invade" taiwan

the entire "dynamic" is pretend kabuki theater that enriches the politicians, militaries, and weapons manufacturers associated with all parties involved

this is also true

a major amphibious operation over 200km of open ocean hasn’t been done since the days of Homer imo
