According to Kanwa Defence News, which specialises in Chinese military matters, Beijing can cope with just one CSG currently.
‘But in five to 10 years, it can certainly take on seven,’ said Mr Chang Hong-yi, head of Kanwa, in an interview with The Straits Times.
How does he think they will go from tackling just one CSG, to taking on SEVEN in just 5-10 years?!?!
‘Even now, China can easily take on two CSGs,’ he said but conceded that there was no way it could face seven all at the same time.
Not conventionally, but with a nuclear strike perhaps?
This means that if China has to wage war over Taiwan, it has to be able to land and seize control of the island within the first 30 days.
I would think 15 days would be a preferred time table if they invaded.
‘All this leaves China with no choice but to start and end the war with lightning speed,’ said the source.
Their only real hope of that would be a massive air and missile attack with NBC warheads, and hope that Taiwan submit.
