“...China’s objective of draining the US’s weapons supplies before China goes for Taiwan.”
The great ancient chinese attack on Japan failed because China did not have much experience in sea warfare. I think the same principle probably applies here. The kinds of weapons we are providing for a big land war are probably not the kind that will be necessary to fight the ocean battle to prevent Commie China from landing on Taiwan.
