Xi has thrown down the gauntlet and stated that Taiwan will
return to the Peoples Republic of China by 2049, whether Taiwan
wants it or not. So now a countdown timer has started, and Taiwan
scrambles to prepare for what Beijing may throw at it. Should they
build a large navy? Should they try and push the Chinese back into
sea fighting on the beaches? Should the Taiwanese retreat to the
jungles and fight a bloody insurgency from there?
We ask our expert panel what strategy Taiwan is likely to take, and
whether or not it is likely to be effective against the entire
PLA.
