Cha-ching! Why is it that people think that in the end, China will keep toy factories running instead of arm factories?
China’s economy is completely dependent on exports. They’d suffer more in a war than we would.
Also curious how people think the oil from Iran and Venezuela gets there in a war.
This is all leaving aside the article in question only addresses the PLAAF and PLAN.
The Taiwanese army is larger with more armor than German forces in Normandy in World War II. Somehow you’ve got to keep the PLA supplied while it’s fighting on Taiwan.
