ФТ смятат, че на Китай ще им трябва значително по-голяма военна сила за успешна анексиране на Тайван от това, което са разположили в момента:
Nonetheless — even without American intervention — a full-scale Chinese assault on Taiwan would be formidably risky. Attempting to cross the Taiwan Strait and land troops on the island would entail mass casualties. China might need as many as 1m troops to stage a successful invasion and subsequent occupation. There is no sign that an invasion force of this size is being assembled.
It is more likely that Beijing will attempt to erode Taiwanese morale and autonomy by staging a series of smaller military, economic and psychological interventions. Cutting off the Pratas islands, which have an airport and administrative buildings but no permanent civilian population, would be exactly this kind of measure. If Taiwan responds forcefully, it risks giving Beijing an excuse to hit back. But if it fails to respond, it looks powerless and suffers a symbolic defeat.
А FP смятат направо, че Китай просто не могат да се справят с успешно превземане на Тайван. Само, че това е било на база на анализ правен през 2018г.
