"The old saying "a day at the beach," is meant to evoke a non-stressful, relaxing day involving projects or tasks that are easy or otherwise non-challenging. That wasn't exactly the day at the beach that the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) experienced earlier this month and involved armored units from the 73rd Group Army. Believed to be China's main invasion force in a presumed attack on Taiwan, members of the armored division reportedly fired several thousand rounds or ordnance during the drills, which were conducted on May 12, according to reports from state broadcaster CCTV.

How many times have you brought up this subject now? I'd be interested to know how many people have wargamed a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan. |

It would be wise and prudent to operate on the assumption that Xi does indeed intend to use the weapon he is building. |

There is a hex based wargame called "Breaking the Chains" based on this scenario. I'm sure the Chinese, the Taiwanese, the Americans, and maybe a few others have wargamed this. I'd guess the result is everybody loses. |

It's probably a very good thing that the US didn't invade Taiwan during WW2 (besides the large losses it would have entailed), as the PLA would most likely copy it… ;-) |
