New Delhi, Nov 19, : , According to a US Congressional Report, The Daily Mail, Taiwan’s military appears to be at or close to the point of invading Taiwan.
“The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has already achieved the capabilities needed to conduct an air and naval blockade, cyberattacks, and missile strikes against Taiwan,” according to a report from the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a Congressionally-appointed agency designated to provide national security and economic advice to the Congress and the US President.
According to the PLA leaders, they are likely to assess that or soon will have the capability to inflict a highly-risk invasion on Taiwan, if requested by CCP leaders.It said that they will keep improving this capability over the next years.
According to the Daily Mail, it was found that PLA’s sea- and airlift capacity is sufficient for Taiwan to launch an initial landing force of at least 25.000 troops.
The report stated that “Given the above developments, it is less likely that US conventional army forces alone will continue deter China from initiating an assault on Taiwan.”
According to the Commission, China will invade Taiwan most likely if it thinks that the US is not politically or militarily ready to do so or interprets ambiguities in US policies to indicate that an opportunistic Chinese attack against Taiwan won’t provoke a US response.
According to the Daily Mail, the report showed that Xi Jinping, Chinese president, had a high tolerance of risk and a desire for a lasting legacy.This could have outweighed his concerns about US threats against Taiwan.
The study found that China’s nuclear accumulation puts it on the path to becoming the US “nuclear counterpart” in terms of quality and quantity of its land-based strategic missiles.
