[quote:Anonymous Coward 74720680:MV8zOTcwNjc5XzcxODMwNzE2XzQ4NEFENjg5] https://www.wired.com/2009/08/think-tank-china-beats-us-in-simulated-taiwan-air-war/ There has been much study of a possible encounter between China and Taiwan. Read up on what the experts have to say. Things changed between the first and the second Rand studies mentioned in this article and another 9 years have passed since. I haven't followed it closely but Rand has probably updated since the 2009 study. My personal opinion is that Taiwan is far too beautiful a cultural Vacation site for China to go about taking it over overtly. China is well thought out and pragmatic so China invasion hype is just that.... hype. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/china-taiwan-relations [/quote]
Original Message
China's air force has issued a sobering message to Taiwan to ring in the Chinese New Year, releasing a video on an official social media outlet of military jets flying around the disputed self-ruled island, to which Taiwan's military responded within hours with a video of their own.
Key points:
The video includes footage of H-6 bombers and J-20 stealth fighters flying around Taiwan
Taiwan responded, issuing footage of their own defence forces on Facebook
Taiwan has been self-ruling since 1949 and tensions still linger around its independence
