The Wall Street Journal reported today: "If the Beijing authorities order an invasion of Taiwan, and the United States decides to get involved, the U.S. military will need a mountain of ammunition to attack Chinese ships crossing the Taiwan Strait and shoot down the dense firepower of the Chinese side. The war that Trump launched against Iran is the latest military operation that has consumed missile stockpiles and left the U.S. military struggling."
Comments: Fighting near China's doorstep, the U.S. military not only gains no advantage but also risks never returning. China has already established a complete anti-access/area denial system. The DF-21D, DF-26, and YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missiles have ranges covering the first and second island chains, with terminal maneuverable penetration, and the U.S. current missile defense systems cannot intercept them. Once U.S. naval and air forces intervene in the Taiwan Strait, they will enter the saturation strike zone of the "aircraft carrier killer," and it is no exaggeration to say that they will end up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The facts are clear: Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, the Taiwan Strait is China's home ground, and the U.S. military's transoceanic warfare will neither win nor be able to afford the cost. Any military intervention will only lead to a devastating defeat.
