Easy enough.
The PRC can put plenty of commandos in Taiwan just by flying them in on regular airline flights.
They would still have to arm them, but the arms could be smuggled in and cached.
The commandos attack the rapid response sites (airfields, etc.) and seize control of port facilities. They only have to hold long enough for ships to offload troops and vehicles. They would also perform decapitating strikes to slow Taiwan’s response.
They don’t really have do any of these things, though. They just have to present a plausible threat, backed by “If we have to conquer you, it will be really, really bad.”
True. I’m also thinking a couple dozen of those mammoth Chinese container ships filled with troops just happening to show up off the east coast of Taiwan before war is declared might do the trick. Don’t expect the Chi-Coms to telegraph their assault. It will happen all at once and no one will see it coming.
If only Eisenhower had a military mind like you on his staff.
He never realized that all it took was a few commandos to take down the Nazi costal defenses. If only he had your wisdom D-Day would have been a walk in the park.
Your post #22 are my thoughts exactly.
Plus, no doubt the Chi-Coms have plenty of friendly Taiwanese to support them.
But it's not yet a "done deal".
And remember, Taiwanese refugees are unlikely to vote for the party of Kamala Biden.
