The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on China held a war game in the Taiwan Strait on the 19th. After the war game, the chairman of the committee, Mike Gallagher, only stated that there was no winner in the conflict, and he would not disclose the winner or loser. However, the U.S. media quoted sources as saying that the United States cannot stop If China invades Taiwan, the PLA will suffer heavy losses in the month-long war, 80 naval ships will be sunk by the US military, but at the same time, 80,000 PLA troops will land on Taiwan.
The US House of Representatives "Special Committee on China Issues" held a two-hour-long Taiwan Strait push behind closed doors on the 19th. After the meeting, the chairman of the committee, Gallagher, did not directly respond to who would win or lose. He only said that "no one is a winner" when deterrence fails. He also said that the results of the military push show that conflicts across the Taiwan Strait will not be confined to the Taiwan Strait.
On the 21st, the website of the American conservative media "Washington Free Beacon" reported on the inside story of Bingtweet under the headline "The United States can't stop China from invading Taiwan in Congressional Tweets". Yes, the People's Liberation Army preemptively strikes.
Bingtweet results show that the People's Liberation Army suffered heavy losses in the month-long war, and the US military sank about 80 PLA Navy ships. Even so, the People's Liberation Army was able to "place about 80,000 soldiers in Taiwan."
The results also show that the global economy will "completely collapse", indicating that the Taiwan Strait war will detonate huge international fluctuations.
Bingtui also shows that the current US deterrence policy is not enough to stop the military bombing of Taiwan. The People's Liberation Army cut off Taiwan's submarine cables during the simulated exercise, effectively isolating Taiwan from the world. This step allowed the PLA to capture and conquer Taiwan. defense.
After the war broke out, "the United States adopted a decentralized posture in the region and reduced the PLA's amphibious assault capabilities through long-range strikes," the source said.
The source said that due to time constraints, this war game did not produce a clear result. Although the Chinese mainland has paid huge economic and military costs, "the determination to win Taiwan remains firm."
This military push also shows that long-range missiles are very important in any conflict. The US military quickly ran out of long-range stealth anti-ship cruise missiles in the military push. These are important weapons for sinking PLA warships.
After the People's Liberation Army invaded Taiwan, the United States also imposed further sanctions on mainland China, but many allies were reluctant to join the ranks of sanctions. Global supply chains collapsed in chaos, highlighting the need for companies to prepare for conflicts in the Taiwan Strait.
The source also pointed out that once war breaks out, supplying Taiwan will become "unfeasible", so the United States must ensure that Taiwan has enough weapons before the conflict.
After the military push, Gallagher said that this exercise was a wake-up call to the United States, and that Taiwan must be fully armed before "any crisis occurs." cases, enhanced joint military training, and U.S. military posture in the region.

United States Fails to Stop Chinese Invasion of Taiwan in Congressional War Simulation
'Arm Taiwan to the teeth': Lawmakers call for increased military assistance to Taiwan

April 21, 2023
The United States was unable to fend off a Chinese invasion of Taiwan during a war simulation held Wednesday by Congress, fueling congressional calls for the United States to immediately "arm Taiwan to the teeth."
Deterrence failed and China struck first, according to officials briefed on the wargame, which was organized by the House Select Committee on China. The simulation found that China’s military would suffer heavy losses during the month-long fight but would be able to implant its invading forces inside Taiwan—even with U.S. forces aiding the island. While the American military sunk around 80 Chinese naval vessels during the course of the exercise, the Chinese military "was able to gain a lodgment with about 80,000 troops on Taiwan," a source close to the committee who was briefed on the scenario told the Washington Free Beacon.
China’s ability to break Taiwan’s defenses is raising alarm bells with lawmakers on the select committee, which was established earlier this year when Republicans retook control of the House. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), the committee’s chairman, told the Free Beacon the simulation is a wake-up call for the United States to immediately "arm Taiwan to the teeth before any crisis begins." Without these military resources, Taiwan remains increasingly vulnerable to a Chinese attack, which the U.S. intelligence community assesses could occur anytime from 2024 to 2027.
"We are well within the window of maximum danger for a Chinese Communist Party invasion of Taiwan, and [Wednesday’s] wargame stressed the need to take action to deter CCP aggression and arm Taiwan to the teeth before any crisis begins," Gallagher said. "The United States needs to deliver on our promises and clear the $19 billion weapons backlog to Taiwan, conduct enhanced joint military training, and reinforce our military posture throughout the region."
The global economy also fell into "absolute tatters" as a result of the invasion, indicating that the war would spark massive international shockwaves, according to the source. Gallagher said he is distressed by the "disastrous economic consequences" that would blossom in the wake of a Chinese invasion. "Deterring war is the only path to peace and stability, and it is incumbent upon elected officials to take decisive action to do so before it’s too late."
The war simulation confirmed that the United States’ current determent policies are not enough to stop a military bombardment of Taiwan.
The CCP cut undersea cables during the war game, effectively isolating Taiwan from the rest of the world. This allowed its forces to storm the island and overwhelm Taiwan’s defenses.
After war broke out, "the U.S. adopted a distributed posture throughout the region and leveraged long range strikes to degrade the PLA amphibious assault," according to the source who was briefed on the simulation.
While the war game did not conclude with a definitive outcome due to time constraints, "the PRC had been exposed to heavy costs, both military and economic, but its commitment to taking Taiwan remained strong," the source said.
Lawmakers also learned that long range missiles will be critical to any conflict. The United States quickly ran out of long-range stealth anti-ship cruise missiles during the simulation, weapons that were integral to sinking CCP warships.
America also moved to sanction China following an invasion, but many allies were hesitant to join the effort. Global supply chains broke down as a result of the turmoil, highlighting the need for companies to prepare for such a scenario.
Resupplying Taiwan once war breaks out also "is not an option," according to the source briefed on the game. The United States will have to ensure that Taiwan is fully stocked prior to any invasion.
A separate war simulation organized by House Republicans during their annual retreat last month determined that the United States "would face up to 20,000 military casualties in a single week—the most seen since World War II," the Free Beacon reported.
The wargame comes ahead of a spring push by the House select committee to increase military aid to Taiwan, according to a congressional source familiar with the effort. Lawmakers are particularly troubled by Chinese president Xi Jinping’s repeated declaration to take Taiwan, as well as his efforts to modernize the country’s military in pursuit of this goal.
Making good on the $19 billion in defense equipment promised to Taiwan, the source said, will send a message to Xi that Taiwan is off limits.
