      They won in wargames against the US in 2020 and the US has now integrated a fancy autocorrect into their descision-making process. Drastically different than a dying nation lashing out.

        You haven’t apparently implemented autocorrect in your trolling comments.

        Only a fool shows their hand in combat. Isn’t that what they preach in most eastern philosophies? So winning at wargames huh… I wonder if anyone held anything back (they both did.) Always better to let the enemy be overconfident.

          That’s not how war games work. The US ran the war games. They had a US team and a China team. The China team was made of US military strategists and they were given all of the known capabilities and quantities of the PLA from US intelligence. It’s not like they invited China to play a war game with them.

            It’s likely that war between China and the US would also include Japan which changes some of the math but Mainland China likely has substantial military assets unknown to the US. Taiwan’s main hope is Chinese incompetence or exaggerated effectiveness of their weapons which isn’t much to go on.

            What’s more likely is that China bribes Trump and Hegseth to stay out of any conflict.

              It is highly likely that the war games included US occupied territories like Korea and Japan.

              Again, if China is gonna bribe the US to stay away from Taiwan, then they have no need to attack Taiwan. I’ll say it till you people hear: attacking Taiwan, absent a threat of US military installation, is a net negative for China and China knows it
