China has a fanatical Chinese military....As in the Korean conflict, they will fight to death. I think however, that we have the same situation with Taiwan as with Ukraine.
And this is lacking in the article.
A free people, who have had the taste of freedom and the good life will fight to the death to keep it, if someone tries to take it away.
I think the days of a massive assault by war, are over.
Maybe, maybe not. In Korea they had hundreds of thousands of veterans who had fought the Nationalists and Japanese for 20 years. Many of them were from large families. They knew privation and horror.
Today's Chinese military has never been in a fight. The officers buy their commissions in order to make money. All the troops are the only child from their parents.
