There's always a lot of these "what Taiwan can learn from xxx" articles and many times these things do not age very well in the long run.
If China invades, the key to Taiwan’s defense will be a strong offense. Just as the Biden administration should never have sought to constrain the Ukraine fight to Ukraine itself, Taiwan should not artificially limit its retaliation geographically.
"Scholar Gordon Chang suggested that Taiwan could kill tens of millions of people by destroying Chinese
dams"
Commentary:
As we can read, American idiots don't have any problem when it comes to war crimes just as long as their side are the ones commiting it. The statement above alone disqualifies the supposed expert's thesis by citing the always wrong and never right Comrade Gordon Chang along with his sure fire way advice of ensuring that Taiwan and her government ceases to exist if such advice were to be followed.
Even voicing that scenario enhances Taiwan’s deterrence. Taiwanese barrages from its island of Quemoy [Kinmen] to the Chinese city of Xiamen, just a couple kilometers away, could kill tens of thousands. Infiltration need not be unidirectional.
"
Certainly, China would seek to infiltrate Special Forces into Taiwan; Taiwan should do the same in China. Many Chinese chafe at Xi Jinping’s autocratic and corrupt rule; if Taiwan can make China falter, ordinary Chinese might take advantage to challenge the Communist Party’s disastrous rule."
Commentary:
Suggesting to do an indirect fire inot the mainland from the island of Kinmen that has the potential to kill in the thousands - thousands of CIVILIANS that is - will once again enrage the whole Chinese population that the PLA will have no problem dispensing the island into oblivion if they're as idiotic as the author and his advice suggests.
"Neighboring states might also take advantage of poor Chinese morale with their own incursions into Chinese territory, a just move given decades of Chinese aggression against Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Tibet, Mongolia, and East Turkestan."
Commentary:
Nothing guarantees China going all out if and when the pretend junk supapowah allow itself to be fooled of taking actions not only on the line of actual control, plus the aforementioned A.P. (South Xizang), Xizang, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang.
It's no wonder that the current state of American geopolitical situation is in a mess because of credentialed people leading them into the abyss. The American can't seem or is indifferent of trying to absorb any lessons from the many failures it suffered from the preceding decades or instead of learning and having an introspection, instead the leadership seems to double down on making stupid mistakes based on the existential belief on American Providence.
