Taiwan’s military can respond rapidly to any sudden Chinese attack with all units able to operate under a decentralised mode of command without awaiting orders from above, Taipei’s defence ministry said in a report to lawmakers.
Democratically-governed Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory, has repeatedly warned that China could try to suddenly shift its regular drills into active combat mode to catch Taiwan and its international supporters off guard.
China’s military operates around Taiwan on an almost daily basis, in what Taipei says is part of a “grey zone” harassment and pressure campaign that stops short of actual combat but is designed to wear out Taiwan’s armed forces by putting them constantly on alert.


Lol could you imagine 2.8 million Chinese citizens invading the island of Taiwan?
Military power and census data are so different this comment is kinda insane. Guess China should just own the world cause population numbers say so.
The point, in which that it is clearly over your head so that you try sounding smart, is that military strength says China would definitively beat Taiwan by its strength alone.
What, do you think China is a small country? With a population of 2.8 million? Jesus, the anti-intellectualism is strong with you.
