David Axe, Forbes: To Capture Taiwan, Chinese Forces Might Attack From Several Directions
For many years, Taiwanese defense planners assumed that, if and when China invades the island democracy, the main Chinese force would sail across the 100-mile Taiwan Strait and assault the beaches of southwestern Taiwan.

Update: Analyst says China could attack Taiwan from all directions (Taiwan News)
WNU Editor: Any Chinese invasion will first involve a huge build-up that will be spotted by everyone. And if China does invade, I expect them to throw everything into it.

On day one you'll see them take out most of the Taiwanese air force and stationary defence.. by late morning they'll also have taken out the two main oil ports Taiwan has. Taiwan is dependent on oil imports and have a strategic reserve that won't last 2 weeks, so all their military machines will be rendered useless in 2 weeks if the ports go
America could sell Taiwan 4 Ohio class SSBNs. Job done. Simples Keep ducking 🙊
