China’s possible invasion of Taiwan is emerging as the next major global flashpoint. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry has reportedly identified 2027 as a potential invasion window, while analysts warn China could move 300,000 troops within 10 days using a rapidly expanding navy and commercial fleet. Beijing is reportedly integrating civilian ferries, fishing vessels, and auxiliary ships into PLA exercises, reflecting a Sun Tzu–style deception strategy aimed at achieving surprise. Recent large-scale Chinese naval drills in the East and South China Seas, combined with aggressive shipbuilding that outpaces Western navies, signal growing war readiness.
