Landing on Taiwan in an amphibious assault is going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Taiwan has lots of artillery and limited viable beaches.

Its much more likely that China will blockade it until Taiwan gives in.

The initial offensive against Taiwan will not be a cross-channel amphibious assault. That is a fantasy of last-war western military “experts.”

That and bombard it until it’s a pile of dust. To stop these attacks Taiwan or the US and it’s allies would have to hit targets in China proper which I am sure will result in a response on the US mainland. How far are we willing to go to defend Taiwan? Under BiteMe, not far...
