All that is true, but what they can do, right now, is invade, conquer and hold Taiwan if they choose to. They can screw with the US financially, and they can cause trouble in the oil markets. They can be more than a pain in the ass, and they are feverishly working on their military, logistical and naval capacity. We need to take them seriously.

they could invade Taiwan?

And Hold it?

ROTFLMAO!!!

How pray could they do that? We have given Aegis class Destoyers and Taiwan is a part of USMJC under a peace treaty with Japan.

Further, they no ability to control sea. We own Sea, Air and Land.

Our numbers are superior in strength for accuracy and coordination.

They have no, zero, appreciably effective battle group and even if they did, they would have to contend our surface ships, Carriers and Air to Air or Air to ground capabilities.

Not going to happen.

This their pipe dream to get back a dead guy named Chaing Ki Check.

They can work all they want but if they can’t even make a decent knock off of a car, their sea going strength is in barges and shipping vessels.

Hardly the vessels needed to control a football size territory on the sea.
