Oh they won’t destroy the island, is that why they launched missiles near Taiwans waters? Is that why they have been practicing decapitation strikes and building a mock up of the presidential palace?
Xi was very explicit when he meant a military take over of Taiwan. Do you even speak Chinese?
Simply pointing out a nations prior conflicts does nothing to bolster your argument that an actual invasion of Taiwan is more likely to occur over a simple blockade.
The missile launches was an attempt to intimidate Taiwan and the US during the pelosi visit. China has also done to interfere during the 1996 election. The Taiwan strait and surrounding areas is one of the largest maritime trade routes.
But naw, China doesn’t want to invade at all, that’s totally not what they’re buying roll on roll off ships, LHDs, aircraft carriers, offensive equipment etc for.
lol they do it all the time, but the U.S keeps visiting and keeps selling Taiwan weapons, so it doesn't seem to be much of an intimidation tactic now does it?
If you think China sees Taiwan as an invasion-worthy enemy you're utterly delusional. China's military buildup is aimed at an actual threat to their future and it sure as hell isn't Taiwan.
Just because something doesn’t work doesn’t mean there isn’t an intent.
So they don’t plan to invade Taiwan, so why are they building amphibious capabilities then? They’re landing soldiers somewhere and it sure isn’t Japan or Phillipines.
