China: U.S. Weapons Won’t Stop Invasion
Could Taiwan’s acquisition of U.S. built weapons prevent the possibility of an attack on the island from China? Chinese military experts don’t think so. The National Interest made this statement regarding the development:
Chinese-government supporting military experts are claiming that Taiwan’s acquisition of new U.S. built cruise missiles, mines, and torpedoes will in no way deter the prospect of a successful Chinese amphibious attack on the island, raising new questions about U.S.-China technical parity regarding weapons systems.
An article in the Chinese government-backed Global Times writes that China’s advanced countermine technology and vertical flight take-off ability would easily counter Taiwan-placed sea mines.
