Well-meaning and patriotic Chinese people misapprehend their own capabilities and U.S. capacities. Taiwan's future will prove to be more like Canada's with respect to China than like Normandy, June 1944, with all the bloodshed. China simply lacks the military means for their political ambitions regarding Taiwan, and likely too in the South China Sea. Moreover, China's most powerful naval vessel is Peace Ark: the USA cannot effectively oppose Chinese navy goodwill visits that provision basic and needed medical care to impoverished ports of call. It would be wisest of the PLAN to focus on real world missions: anti-piracy, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, rather than preparing for a war that will never come and the outcome of which would be defeat. True, the PRC is perfectly capable of fighting a war it knows it will lose, in hopes of winning the peace thereafter. This is however suboptimal war-fighting and it is more usually the case that the side which loses a war also loses the peace thereafter. Though, if Chinese warheads are truly gunning for a fight I would like to remind the world: Russia STOLE Chinese lands in the Amur valley and China should take them back.

ANY & ALL US military assets, within 5000 km WILL be EXTERMINATED, in less than 1 hour.

The US “Island Chain” terminology is a WW2 OBSOLETE “power distance” concept, IRRELEVANT in a world of Mach30+ Hypersonic weapons.
