Taiwan is a phenomenally trained and organized force with advanced technology. The island is also heavily fortified. Taiwan may be small but it is not to be underestimated because they have been training for this moment. Add into that Japan and South Korea? China would be S C R E W E D if they tried anything.
China's force is good for numbers and nothing else. Their soldiers are poorly trained and poorly equipped and the structure of their military is a joke. I said this in another post but all Taiwan would have to do is blow the three gorges. Maybe 3 missiles? Even if China did somehow take Taiwan their government would be ruined. I like to compare Taiwan to WWII era Switzerland. Hitler knew there was no way he could take Switzerland.
Fortifications are pointless on Taiwan, you can shell it with artillery forever from the mainland. If there is battle fought over Taiwan, Taiwan itself will fall for certain, the actual question is what the response would be
I mean, Red team won because blue team's tactics haven't changed since the cold war.
The other decisive factor was that blue team lost the ability to use networked communications from the outset. We know that Chinese and even Russian doctrine is to counter, not necessarily match our capabilities.
“We basically attempted an information-dominance structure, where information was ubiquitous to our forces. Just like it was in the first Gulf War, just like it has been for the last 20 years, just like everybody in the world, including China and Russia, have watched us do for the last 30 years,” Hyten said according to Defense One. “Well, what happens if right from the beginning that information is not available? And that’s the big problem that we faced.”
Games? Hah, they are not what I'd base my success on. China has huge problems within their ranks
This thread is absolute cringe. Patriots are in control. Besides, Taiwan would wreck China in a fight.
Like the optimism but "wreck" China? Taiwan? What are you smoking?

A pretty good summary
Blue should have been trying out many options. How else can they figure out what works best? That weak ass quote was feigning military weakness.
That's the problem is it not? Fighting yesterday's war ....
Princelings .... and then the equipment .... I am wondering whether it will desintegrate after 90 miles or 100 miles.
