I envision a two-part credible deterrence plan that turns Taiwan into a “porcupine” too costly for the PRC to invade, by providing them with weapons to defend themselves and committing to actually defending the island if they do invade.
deterrence plan is just doing what the US has been doing as policy but with none of the political subterfuge that made the strategy consistent in the first place?
The PLAN is just going to form a blockade surrounding Taiwan and watch Taiwanese society collapse. This is what happens when 98% of your energy has to be imported.
