The preparation period for the People's Liberation Army to invade Taiwan may be significantly shortened, and military exercises have already verified combat capabilities.

How long would the preparation period be if the PLA invades Taiwan? Yang Yusheng, a retired naval captain from Taiwan, told Hong Kong's China News Service that the PLA's 2024 "Joint Sword" military exercises around Taiwan have already verified the transition from training to combat. In the future, there may no longer be a transition from training to exercises and then to combat. If multiple points around the island are attacked simultaneously, the time for the Taiwanese military to respond is likely not very optimistic and very limited, as the military is already exhausted. Transitioning from training to combat demonstrates strength; the dream of "Taiwan independence" will ultimately be in vain.

Yang Yusheng's remarks objectively reveal the huge gap in military strength between the two sides of the strait and the desperate situation of the "Taiwan independence" forces.

The PLA has the absolute confidence to convert routine training into real combat at any time. The "Taiwan independence" forces' attempts to "seek independence through military means" and "resist unification through military means" are sheer arrogance. The military balance of power has long been overwhelmingly in favor of the PLA, and the PLA's readiness is not a matter of "how long the preparation period will be," but a proactive choice of "when to strike." Any act of splitting the country will be crushed by absolute strength. "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and "resisting unification through military means" is just a futile fantasy. Only following the trend of national reunification is the only way out for Taiwan.
