The article discusses the complex and ongoing tensions between Taiwan and China, exploring the potential for conflict and Taiwan's strategic advantages. Despite China's military size, Taiwan's technological edge and strong civilian defense preparations enhance its resilience. The logistical challenges China would face in an invasion are significant, compounded by the expected international support for Taiwan, particularly from the U.S. This ongoing situation remains fluid, with varying predictions about the likelihood of conflict and its implications for global stability.
Taiwan's biggest advantage may not be its ports or the Taiwan Strait, but the will of its people. Civilian Defense programs are heavily focused on preparing citizens for an invasion.
If China were to follow through on its promises to take Taiwan, it would create an almost immediate constraint on the largest country on Earth. The logistical supply chain required to capture and hold Taiwan would be significant.
