China needs its weapons to invade Taiwan.

[Travis McGee]

China won't invade Taiwan, not after seeing how Ukraine is going for Russia. Taiwan is also watching Ukraine, and by the time of an invasion, the island will be covered by drones, drone-launched missiles, MANPADs and ATGMs.

Instead, the CCP will blockade Taiwan. Their land-based missiles far outrange our CVN-launched aviation. We can't get close enough to Taiwan to resupply it.

By contrast, Ukraine borders many nations, it can never be cut off from weapon resupply. Taiwan can be cut off from the world, no weapons or food coming in, no semi-conductors going out.

The Taiwanese billionaires will make a deal and sell their people into CCP slavery. They already are happy to do business all over mainland CCP China.

I would say that it needs to keep it’s reputation relatively
clean until it addresses Taiwan.

That may sound crazy knowing what we do about the Ugers and
other unseemly problems China has with it’s reputation.

The thing is, our media fronts for China a lot. And if China
were to decide to go against our media in the Ukraine, that
might change for the worse, for China’s leaders.

These guys value propaganda, and they’re going to need a
boatload of it when they go after Taiwan.
