Yeah...Am sure that after these accidents, the PLAN admirals are cheering among themselves that they now can take on the US Navy.
Classified PLA field manuals and doctrines docs have been smuggled out of China that revealed the overall PLA strategies for Taiwan.
One of the many docs is this...
The authors pretty much made it clear to the ranks that taking on Taiwan
WILL involve amphibious assault, limited land maneuvers due to geography, urban warfare, and mountain warfare. All of these factors favored the defenders. Conditions for any surprise attack are scarce if possible at all. The Nanjing Army Command Academy concurred. Unlike internet forums, these docs are written to sober up the readers who are military officers.
It all started with Mao who tasked these two 3rd Field Army generals...

...As to the feasibility of invading and taking Taiwan. After their research which includes the capabilities of the PLA and the fortifications made by the Taiwanese defenses, they agreed that the greatest vulnerability for any invasion plan is the water crossing. Forward to today, PLA war planners came to the same conclusion.
Taiwanese defenders do not need to have absolute air superiority over the strait or effective control on the water. All they have to do is produce %10 losses on the invaders to make any landing assault difficult to achieve and progress into the interiors bloody and brutal. When Su and Zhang were planning, they estimated a conservative count of 500,000 troops with 2/3 of them actually committed to the amphibious operations. From the water crossing, if even just %10 of that force is lost during the journey, the odds of victory dropped to 50/50. Those are odds no general want to face. Remember your history -- that 10,000 troops lost at Kinmen.
