Korea Times/SCMP: Chinese military beefs up coastal forces as it prepares for possible invasion of Taiwan
Beijing is stepping up the militarization of its southeast coast as it prepares for a possible invasion of Taiwan, military observers and sources have said.
The People's Liberation Army has been upgrading its missile bases, and one Beijing-based military source said it has deployed its most advanced hypersonic missile the DF-17 to the area.
"The DF-17 hypersonic missile will gradually replace the old DF-11s and DF-15s that were deployed in the southeast region for decades," the source, who requested anonymity, because of the sensitivity of the topic. "The new missile has a longer range and is able to hit targets more accurately."

If the Chinese have their right flank secure (South China Sea), then there are only two avenues of approach, from Japan & South Korea and from the East.
Someone is going to have to clean out Chinese subs to the east of Taiwan. Afterwards, there is still the ballistic missile threat to the carriers.
The USA could come through the South China Sea, but they won't surprise the Taiwan invasion Forces and they will have to fight their way there. They would be a bit like the 6th Army on its way to Stalingrad.
I think the American Fleet will fight like the American attack on Baghdad. That wi;; mean no quick reinforcement of Taiwan.
The Chinese might try it but it would be a mistake.
Well, time to nuke China
Any company doing business with China will have to pay a severe price. The internet does not forget. Talk about PR nightmare. Coupled with the returning horrors of the Wuhan virus and treason. You will regret it.
That is why dems are struggling to take the power of white house. They moved US corporations in china and in the rvent this thing happen they will loose everything from china
Invasion may take place as soon as before the election? China hopes Trump will loose and if that happen invasion of taiwan will be as soon as next year.
The Chicoms will have to assemble a million troops for extensive training and preparation.Until I see this they are full of crap. This is panic porn for dummys.
Best AJ comment I have seen. AJ might be wrong, but still a great comment.
Xi is a pretty coky person. And considering what I think will be much of the world's response to such a move, as ignorant as he is foolish.
China people will all go to hell in government
