China has their own intelligence network in Taiwan and they know the intention of the Taiwanese government very well.The issue is that it seems the US has control of the time and place the conflict would happen. Eg. They have more control over Taiwan's political system and thus influence when Taiwan will declare independence. They have more informed over chinas external security environment than the other way around.
As though the US has any experience fighting a peer adversary.We have not clearly done our homework about the real capabilities of the PLA. I think we all may have been misled and forget that the PLA have no faced or experience joint maneuver warfare and all of its supposed self-advertised capabilities are nothing but mere facade.
That's according the world's foremost PLA military analyst link below. Watch and weep commies!!
The US should remember that the size of China's auto market is about twice as big as its own.
The new Taiwanese submarine is a joke.
