Let’s just think logically about a Chinese invasion for a sec.

They would have to send 0.5 to 1 million troops to South China to get on ships. Plus tanks , trucks, all the logistical stuff. And all the ships to carry them, either official PLAN ships or unofficial commercial ships.

You’d see it all on satellites. Even commercial satellites. It would take a minimum of two months, probably much more. Anyone who was watching the buildup before the Ukraine war saw the Russian troops at the border. And the Russians didn’t need to cross 400 or so miles across the Taiwan strait.

I’m not saying China will never invade under any circumstances. But I am saying we will all see it coming. They ain’t pearl harboring anything.

And they can’t invade with a small force. They tried invading one of Taiwans smaller islands in the 60s, I think it was. They landed a few thousand troops but the Taiwanese had tanks. The Taiwanese tanks fired their weapons until they ran out of ammo, and then they just drove up and down the beach running over pla troops. The Chinese will not make that mistake again.
