As war threat looms, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) in Taiwan has warned that Beijing may use military drills as a pretense to launch an attack on the self-ruled democracy.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) will launch various missiles and destroy Taiwan’s air defense sites, radar stations, and command posts, said a report by Taiwan News.
These observations were made by MND in the legislative report titled "Strengthening the military’s combat effectiveness in response to an all-out Chinese invasion of Taiwan in 2025."
According to the report, China will also suppress or destroy Taiwan’s main battle forces and key military installations with electromagnetic pulse attacks. While Beijing will send PLA troops to Taiwan’s southeast coast, a fleet of Navy ships will be deployed as a strategic blockade on Western Pacific. These ships will prevent foreign forces from aiding Taiwan, the report added.
Deputy Minister of National Defense Wang Hsin-lung said the MND studied the possibilities of China using military drills as a facade to carry out the invasion and "has a handle on related matters," Taiwan News quoted local media CNA.
China will also make the first move, rather than wait for Taiwan to slip up, in case of an invasion. The first wave of PLA troops will push forward deeper into Taiwan before beginning the next stage of operations, said Wang. However, the Taiwanese military has considered such scenarios and has revamped training accordingly, the report added.

Standard game plan is to do some drills and during the drills, claim that Taiwan attacked them, and they’re just ‘retaliating’.

The Taiwanese are not stupid and the land isn’t flat; Taiwan is not India. The PLA will get slaughtered.
Taiwan should do the same as the Brits in WW2 - build shoreline defenses that involve dumping millions of gallons of fuel into the sea at likely landing sites, and then lighting them up when the PLA actually invades. Make it a mechanical 9not electronic) switch, so that no EMP can disable it.
Let’s see how enthusiastic the PLA forces are after a few tens of thousands of them are burned to death.
That’s what the PLA does best - parades.
Lol, and old yeller is still one of my favorite books..
Hair to be sniffed Corp at epsteins isle?

If the PLA lost that many, Xi would be dead within hours. Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao would see to it pronto ; they hate him with passion now, imagine if Xi killed that may Chinese to bolster his idiotic plan.
Any EMP attack of scale would have to use nuclear devices which opens another door. Non nuclear EMP would have to assume all PLA equipment is hardened and Taiwanese military equipment is not.
Dollars to donuts there’s enough American fast attack submarines just waiting for Chinese troop carriers to hit the open water so they can sink every last one of them.

Taiwan has a few of their own to pitch in on the turkey shoot.
Nothings going to happen till after the Olympics.
Just like Putin and Crimea.
The southeast coast appears to be mostly mountains right down to the shore, and a whole mountain range away from Taipei. Little ground for establishing a beachhead and maneuver of troops. Expecting a landing there is puzzling. Any Taiwan experts here comment?
You really think XiBiden is going to get tough with China over Taiwan?
I’ve got a bridge you might be interested in.
Dollars to donuts the Chicoms will just buy Taiwan. No need for shooting when they can buy the rope.
If it was that easy why is it taking the Chicoms 75 years to do it? 1 balllistic missle to 3 Gourge dam and China is over! They nuke Taiwan and get no chips or anything worth living in. Mutual self destruction
