China, Taiwan, and the Illusion of Invasion


Mainland China’s amphibious forces include highly modernized People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Army Amphibious Combined Arms Brigades (ACABs), designed for large-scale island invasion campaigns, and the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), which operates advanced amphibious assault ships like the Type 075 and new Type 076, and has developed specialized D-Day-style floating piers (barges) to enhance landing capabilities. ” Invading Taiwan would trigger a coalition of regional powers, U.S. intervention, and an almost immediate economic blockade.” That is the really only important comment, but it rightly belongs in the form of a question - “will” a regional coalition of U.S., Japan and others lay out an immediate economic blockade?
