The Normandy fleet dwarfed this Chinese one. The Germans didn’t know the invasion fleet was coming. And the Germans didn’t have much of a Navy by 1944. The Germans were convinced that the invasion would happen at the Pas-de-Calais and had their main forces there. The Germans had mostly poor troops (like the PLA today) in France. Yet it was still a near run thing. The Chinese won’t enjoy any of the advantages that Allies had.

A successful invasion of Taiwan is not a done deal. Don’t fall for CCP propaganda. They are trying to get the West to give up without a fight.

“A successful invasion of Taiwan is not a done deal.”

While China has the ability to destroy Taiwan, they do not have the ability to invade against determined opposition.

Your D-Day analogy is perfect.

No surprise. No air dominance. No sea dominance. And more ocean to cross.

Even IF they were able to cross, a million men with rifles await them in the mountains of Taiwan.
