China is one hell of a lot more competent than Russia

I think the main saving grace is that whatever posturing individual people want to do, China has a good thing going on with trade with the West which no one involved on either side wants to fuck up.

China is one hell of a lot more competent than Russia

We have no real idea whether this is actually true on a military level as their military is even less tested in real world conditions than the Russians were. Even if they are, an amphibious assault on an island with the potential of the world’s most powerful navy in the way is a lot more difficult to pull off than a land invasion.

An analyst outlined that there likely wouldn’t be an amphibious assault. That more likely they would first try to take over key airports and seaports with special forces. The waters on the strait are too treacherous and unpredictable for an amphibious assault and you would also have to account for where they would be landing
