“China Could Attack Taiwan Sooner Than Expected”

Naw. They’re going to invade Siberia while Russia is busy looking elsewhere and foolishly trusting China.

Tiawan should be stocking up on anti-ship and anti-air missiles

Supporting your theory: If the US gets rid of Biden and Prog Socialist Democrat control, the US would get significantly stronger.

Challenging your theory: The Chinese have spent 6000 years learning patience.

You make some very good observations.

Remember that MASH episode when the Norks kidnapped Frank Burns?

I don't but that story premise has tons of potential.

Mainland Chinese and Russian Interpol Officers will be knocking at your door with a UN warrant, before that Siberia fantasy of yours happens.

Every Battle Plan is perfect until first engagement with the Enemy.

Both sides are liable to learn new ways to War.

China has had the means to completely destroy Taiwan for at least 20 years.

However, they still do not have the ability to invade and occupy if either the US or Japan joins the fight.

The Strait becomes a graveyard for 10s of thousands of Chinese.

Nancy is going to Taiwan in order to convince them that they will be better off as part of China.

That's generally accurate, however I don't believe Communist China wants to destroy Taiwan.

Recent developments in Communist Chinese Missile deployment and Orbital Kinetic Weapons may hamper or negate American Naval support of Taiwan, and Japanese support is partially hobbled, less up to the task than advertised, and deteriorating with every day that passes.

Patience and time both strengthen Communist China, as the Southwestern Pacific Rim drifts away from American influence and hates the Japanese.

That just might be the case.

Of course, an unintentional clerical error by a member of the surface-to-air missile brigade...

“Orbital Kinetic Weapons”

I have seen no credible source for that.

And their DF-2x still cannot hit a maneuvering target, even with 3rd position targeting from drones, aircraft or surface vessels.

The US maintains the ability to project decisive force in the S China Sea in both in the air and on the sea. Especially air power.

Provocation.

The DF-2x is a step in their learning curve, and while maneuverable enough to hit larger ships even when they take evasive action, it is not fast enough, and targeting data acquisition is too complicated.

As for credible sources, Communist China has become proficient at concealment of their weapons development, and the West was recently surprised at a Communist Chinese Hypersonic Missile's round the Globe flight, and the maneuverable re-entry vehicle.

The future will reveal which weapons and which tactics were the correct choices, but it is unwise to dismiss any now.

The US maintains the ability to project decisive force in the S China Sea in both in the air and on the sea.

That is a true statement.

Currently, the US maintains the ability to project decisive force in the S China Sea in both in the air and on the sea.

And that is an even more accurate statement.

I believe you have nailed it. Siberia is extremely rich in natural resources.

This is the perfect time, as Russia is entangled in Ukraine, and the US is saddled with weak, ineffectual leaders performing Kabuki theater re: Taiwan...
