  1. Lei, I would like to get your response to my contention. I contend that the PLA and the CCP too often believe their own propaganda. They state so often how strong they are, and how weak Taiwan is, that I think many in the top ranks actually believe that. No matter reality. We may look at what is. That is not important. We must understand what Xi and the CCP believe to be true. If they believe that China is strong, and that their soldiers are powerful, then an invasion attempt of Taiwan may be quite likely. What do you think?

  2. BTW, If China attempts an invasion of Taiwan, I believe they will lose utterly, completely. China has 50 amphibious naval vessels. Taiwan only needs to sink those. I believe Taiwan has thousands of its own missiles. Should be easy. Also, the idea that China would use private boats and ships to transport troops is ridiculous. They can be sunk with small arms fire. They would not stand a chance.
