South China Sea: China's four-part plot to invade Taiwan includes airstrikes on US troops

Relations between China and Taiwan have not been at its best as of late, as China grows increasingly aggressive over the island nation in its plans for reunification. As tensions escalate in the South China Sea, a report revealed that China has a four-part plan to invade the island nation, which also includes military actions taken against US soldiers.

WION obtained a copy of China’s “invasion playbook” detailing China’s plans in a possible military confrontation as Beijing considers taking over Taiwan through military means. Chinese military planners have come up with four military campaigns for possibly invading Taiwan. Included in the plans are airstrikes on US military forces.

The first phase, according to the outlet, involves disarming Taiwanese forces with the use of China’s Air Force in a possible crackdown of the island nation’s government, military, and civilians. Through this possible crackdown, China would hope to get Taipei to submit to its authority, according to the report.

The second phase involved a blockade operation, where China would isolate Taiwan from the rest of the world. This would include cutting off communication and blocking key supplies from reaching Taiwan. The targeting of US troops by the People’s Liberation Army would make up the third phase.

“The People’s Liberation Army would conduct air strikes on US forces deployed near Taiwan to weaken the Taiwanese defense. That will leave Taiwan open to ground attack,” said the report. The fourth phase would be carrying out an amphibious assault on the island nation, targeting all branches of Taiwan’s military from the army, navy, and air force.

While China appears determined to take over Taiwan in a plan to reunify both nations, an expert has warned that Beijing may receive backlash from its own citizens and trigger internal conflicts should an invasion take place. Catherine McGregor of Sky News Australia suggested that an invasion of Taiwan by China would have serious consequences for Beijing, triggering an economic crisis. This is because of the societal impact from Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “one-child policy.”

“With a nation that has had a one child policy privileging sons,” said McGregor. “You start sending those single sons of families home in body bags. Let’s see what happens internally.”

Oh yeah, just lob some ballistic missiles at Andersen AFB and Okinawa (which is Japanese sovereign territory). That will greatly simplify things for China. /sarc

“The People’s Liberation Army would conduct air strikes on US forces deployed near Taiwan to weaken the Taiwanese defense.”

With Xiden and the traitors in the WH, the USA might not respond. China needs for Taiwan to give up. An invasion would wipe out half or more the the PLA’s forces.

"...just lob some ballistic missiles at Andersen AFB and Okinawa..."

Was working at Kadena in Okinawa back in 2009 when the Norks were sabre-rattling.

Left the base at 5 one afternoon, the lot near the hangar was empty - when I came back the next morning they had flown in and set up a couple Patriot batteries overnight.

The damnedest thing I ever saw.

If Biden did not respond to an attack on our troops by China,he had better be ready to weather some dire consequences in our country. With the illicit ties Biden already has to China, failure to respond i a major way would be interpreted by the American public as treason. I don’t even think the compliant press, as hopeless as they are, would try to defend him.

We created a monster. We should of stopped doing business with them after the Berlin Wall fell. We didn’t need them to fight Russia anymore. Instead we get Loral.

Nukes have nothing to do with warfare. They will NEVER be used by any nation. Terrorist perhaps, but not organized nation states. No one will EVER pull the trigger first. the most expansive bluff in history.
