That notion didn't stop Russia from scorching Ukraine, can't see why it would stop China.

- tim333 2y agoThe issue Russia does have with Ukraine is it has to keep it's ships and planes away from Ukrainian areas or they get shot down. That'd be a problem for invading Taiwan.
- cma 2y agoThere have been wargames where it has been simulated with China using its entire commercial fishing fleet as the amphibious assault force. It wouldn't be easily stoppable.
- aardvarkr 2y agoWhy and how would a fishing fleet be unstoppable? Why is that better than actual landing vehicles?
- nradov 2y agoIt's not better. But if China is willing to take enormous losses, then they can push a lot of troops across the Taiwan Strait in requisitioned civilian boats. Essentially the maritime equivalent of a human wave assault.
- tim333 2y agoI'm guessing Taiwan would only have so many anti-ship missiles so if you have more ships than that you wouldn't be able to get them all.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoRussia isn’t as smart as China.
- Apocryphon 2y agoNot being connected by land, thus having to force a naval invasion, is a big deterrent.
