The Chinese Communist Massive Invasion Will Be Very Difficult

BEIJING – Massive communist military invasion China ke Taiwan landing troops and occupying ports and airports will be very difficult to achieve. This was conveyed by the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan, Monday (12/13/2021).

In a report to members of Parliament, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said China’s current transport capacity was limited, it would not be able to land all of its troops at once, and would have to rely on ships. roll-on and roll-off “non-standard” that need to use port facilities and transport aircraft that require airports.

“However, this country’s military strongly defends ports and airports, and they will not be easily occupied in a short period of time. Landing operations will face very high risks,” the ministry said in its report, a copy of which has been reviewed by Reuters.

According to the report, China’s logistics also face challenges, as each landing force needs to be resupplied with weapons, food and medicine across the Taiwan Strait that separates the two territories.

“The state military has the advantage of the Taiwan Strait being a natural trench and can use joint intercept operations, cutting off communist military supplies, greatly reducing the combat effectiveness and endurance of landing forces,” the report added.

China, the ministry continued, also needs to keep some of its troops as a reserve to prevent foreign troops from joining to help Taiwan and to continue to monitor other vulnerable areas on China’s border, such as with India and in the South China Sea.
