lol....China doesn't have enough air or naval assets to "swarm" Taiwan. It only has a overwhelming edge in long range fire (missiles).
A military buildup is quite noticeable. Like I said....the proximity to Taiwan is a double edged sword.
Taiwan has 400 km BM's (ballistic missiles). All China can do is rain similar missiles onto Taiwan. Thus killing over 10M people. Can it do that??
Most likely not.
If China attacks, so will Taiwan. And the attacker in this case will incur a lot of casualties.
Like I wrote in my above post, Taiwan is armed to the teeth. Anything short of a nuclear war will be very bloody for China.
And even nuking Taiwan will mean the fallout falling right back into China and killing the Chinese people too.
Which is why you see pathetic attempts by China and Chinese on PDF where they say "we're all the same!!" "you're Han Chinese too!"
That's the best policy China can adopt.....weaken Taiwan from within and reunify it peacefully.
If warfare was easy, China would have done it by now. If the US can't defeat Taliban....China has no hope of easily defeating a near peer enemy.
Of course, given enough body bags and economic turmoil, China can take Taiwan....but will it be worth it???
The CCP has decided that it isn't so far.
