Washington Times: Chinese military now set for invasion of Taiwan, says Hill commission
Buildup of China's nuclear forces 'unprecedented,' could assist coercion
China‘s military now is capable of a full-scale invasion of Taiwan and has added new missiles and amphibious ships to the People’s Liberation Army for an attack on the island democracy, according to the latest annual report of a congressional China commission.
Additionally, the standoff between China and Taiwan has become unstable because the ability of the U.S. military to deter a Chinese attack is now in a period of “dangerous uncertainty,” the report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission concluded.
China, which insists Taiwan is part of its sovereign territory, also has rapidly increased the number of intermediate-range missiles targeting the self-governing island state from 30 to 200 over the past several years.
New amphibious ships have been added to the Chinese navy and civilian vessels are being prepared to move troops across the 100-mile-waterway in a potential future invasion.

China already invaded Taiwan back in 1949
"The number of Chinese people living on the island in 1624, prior to Dutch colonial rule, was about 25,000"
There were 30,000 to 50,000 Chinese in Taiwan in 1650. The Qing annexed Taiwan in 1683. Japan annexed it in 1895 and held it until 1945.
"The total population of recognized indigenous people in Taiwan is approximately 533,600, or approximately 2.28% of Taiwan's population"
Many ethnic Chinese have roots in Taiwan stretching back 5 centuries. Is the Blind One proposing on putting them all on a ship at gunpoint and shipping them to Fujian?
If a plebiscite were held is their any question that 95% of the population would vote to stay?
Someone was good, but I think they have been taking stupid pills.
Stoopid 'mericans. One morning you fuckwits will crawl out of your pits to discover that Chaina has done the deed.... and raised their flag in Taiwan. Oh well, sit down to take a pee and get back to your wokeness training.
I agree @6:35, I think something big is coming soon. You're right the wokeness is causing major damage. Those who are "woke" I guess you'd say... have no idea what's coming
