  • China's military has finished two days of military drills around Taiwan in the greatest escalation in tension across the Taiwan Strait since 2022.
    China's military described the drills this week as a simulation of how to “seize power” on the island.
    Taiwan's defence ministry condemned the action, calling them an "irrational provocation and actions that disrupt peace and stability in the region".

      中国的目的不是优先解决台湾,装作一副要打台湾的假象,可以先看一下地图,琉球的地理位置比台湾更好,琉球群岛地理位置更广,向上牵制日本向下牵制台湾菲律宾,向东牵制美国2,3条岛链,而且每次包围台湾美军也要出动,但是要知道一点美国离台湾远,中国离台湾近,中国军舰去台湾更省油。

    Why does the analyst not consider transport, logistics and terrain? His lack of consideration of these factors renders his analysis useless.
    First, China does not have enough troop transport ships. Their sea lift capacity is 50k of troops. With the Taiwanese reserves mobilized they will have more than a half million troops in the field defending a terrain that is described as Afghanistan with tree cover. Standard military doctrine says the attacker will need a 3 to 1 advantage but given the terrain that number would likely be higher. So please tell me how China is going to transfer 1.5 to 2.5 million PLA soldiers across 100 miles of treacherous, highly contested ocean when their sea lift capacity is 50k.
    And even if we suspend disbelief and imagine that 2 million Chinese soldiers magically teleport to the island of Taiwan, how are they going to resupply them? PLA logistics break down once the troops move beyond a railhead and there are no trains running from mainland China to Taiwan.
    The fact that the analyst did not consider these things tells me he is not a serious person. Therefore, this video is a complete waste of time.

      None of these countries likes the idea of an Imperialist China invading their country and taking land so they will not be happy to see China acting in an Imperialist way.
      And India has major political conflicts with China including anger over a Chinese dam that is going to block a lot of water from flowing into northeast India.

      Well, strategically, it very much is. Otherwise, China would be boring the world senseless with inevitable historical trend of re-unification of the motherland, and avenging the century of humiliation, with respect to the ~900, 000 sq. km. of outer Manchuria/Amur annexations of 1858 and 1860 by Russia, every time he meets Putin. How many times bigger than Taiwan was that territory again? 25, 26 times? And a hell of a lot easier to invade than crossing the ~180km Taiwan Strait, too.

      Technically, it is. Coz South China Sea issue is from the republic of china. The sad thing is, Taiwan now is too shamed to fight for their own land.
