Washington Free Beacon: China’s Secret Military Plan: Invade Taiwan by 2020
Book based on internal documents says Beijing's invasion plan would trigger U.S.-China conflict
China has drawn up secret military plans to take over the island of Taiwan by 2020, an action that would likely lead to a larger U.S.-China conventional or nuclear war, according to newly-disclosed internal Chinese military documents.
The secret war plan drawn up by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese Communist Party's armed forces, calls for massive missile attacks on the island, along with a naval and air blockade that is followed by amphibious beach landing assaults using up to 400,000 troops.
The plans and operations are outlined in a new book published this week, The Chinese Invasion Threat by Ian Easton, a China affairs analyst with the Project 2049 Institute, a think tank.

WNU Editor: For as long as I can remember .... since the mid 1980s to be exact .... the Chinese have always talked about forcibly taking Taiwan. In the 1980s it was just talked .... the means to invade Taiwan were just not there. Today .... or more to the point 10 years from now .... the means to accomplish such a goal will be there. The only question that remains unanswered is .... does Beijing have the political will to issue the order to invade Taiwan, even with the prospect of an all out war with the U.S. and its allies in Asia. In today's world the answer is a definite no .... the perception from China is that President Trump would commit U.S. forces and all other measures to protect Taiwan. But 10 years from now .... different players and priorities in Washington .... the answer from the U.S. may be different, and that is what the Chinese are banking on.
