Question

Do you believe that China has the military prowess to conquer Taiwan in the next 10 years

Answer 1

Yeah, but if they do, Russia will come in from the north with a million soldiers and thousands of tanks, South Korea will plow through North Korea with help of the Japanese and American militarys will cross the sea between China's east coast and South Koreas west coast and bombard the Eastern Chinese seaboard.

Then a ground invasion will begin with Americans, South Koreans and the Japanese coming from the western sea board. Russia will advance south and then India will advance from the east.

Then we will launch air strikes into China out of Iraq,Afghanistan, Japan and South Korea.

Then N.A.T.O. will come through Russia or India.

If a war like this occurred, it would be considered world war three. Also there would be NO regard for Chinese Civilians.

Everyone would be a target.  

Answer 2

Frankly speaking, China do not only have the prowess to knock down Taiwan within a week, they also possess enough firepower to knock down US or UK if they do try.

Only problem is, will they be stupid enough to do this? answer is they won't.

Firstly, what do they gain should they invade Taiwan? they gain more enemies and probably will kickstart 3rd world war.

Secondly, the moment they invade Taiwan, that's practically the end of their claim to making Taiwan part of China.

Thus, their best option is, as the chinese always say, "Defence is the best form of attack". They would gain the trust and support of every other countries & slowly move towards uniting Taiwan with China.

However, Taiwan will never agree to this and thus, in the end, due to peer pressure, 10 years later, It will still stand as it is today.

TAIWAN is TAIWAN and CHINA is still CHINA.

China has economic domination over Taiwan and will probably end up buying it!

Answer 4

They do, and have for a long time. The Republic of China(Taiwan) has the defense ability to last for something like 2 weeks to a month against the Communist mainland according to their own estimates. During this time they would hold out until support from the US, Japan, and South Korea could arrive and fight back.

The whole point of their military isn't to stand up against China, it's to last long enough for someone to save them.

Answer 5

I agree with the first guy the thing about Taiwins military stragty is to hold out....Taiwan is a small island off the coast of the chinese main land with a population of only 23 million and less than 10 million fit for military sevice they won't last long aginst Chinas numbers the thing is all their main plan is to hold out for up to 3 weeks for US,Japan,S.Korea,EU and Nato(all of witch have pleged support) forces to be dispached China could easly crush Taiwan the problem is they would than be crushed by Taiwans friends.....I don't think China would dare to even attempt to invade Taiwan how would that look big China pushing around a little provance trying to get independance....they would have none on their side it would be polotical and economical sucide

the one thing I disagree with these people is that I dought the Russians would help the US I think they would remain netureal Russia is mroe close with China right now and i think they would choose to reamin netureal that being said I think the indians would also get involved and China would be like iraq in the first Gulf war .....

Answer 6

if china wanted to attack, taiwan wouldn't last 1 day. they would go in full force and do it so quickly that the US or Russia, or anyone else for that matter could do anything.

I believe the only reason they haven't is because of the backlash against them if they did it. it would sort of be the same reaction saddam got from the world when he invaded little kuwait.

but in reality, china could do it in one day.

Answer 7

They do and have.I agreed with Krieger U. Not in the next 10 years but already had.It is a painful warning everytime China issues a warning as the Big Heads are all very old.They know what is war like. Taiwan is always testing its ground and waiting for changes. The blood relation is too deep and there is no debt or hatre in this generation to awash.China and Taiwan are brotherly related in the last and still now.

Answer 8

No, if China was to attack Taiwan unprovoked the United Nations would intervene and if not the UN it would be America.

Taiwan and the US are long time allies, once China wanted to test nukes dangerously close to Taiwan and the Us sent a carrier fleet to stop them.

If China does attack Tiawan they would not be able to fight of Tiawan's allies
