I'll tell you right now that it isn't going to happen. There is no desire from the leadership to do it unless there is no other option.

The only people who espouse this are western media and it isn't hard to know why.
 
Taiwan reported fresh military activity by China near its territory on Sunday, raising concerns over security in the region. According to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, 19 Chinese military aircraft, nine naval vessels, and two official ships were detected around the island by 6 am local time today. Out of the 19 aircraft, 13 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan’s Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) in multiple areas.

Taiwan said its armed forces closely monitored the situation and responded as needed.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of four senators has plans to visit Taiwan, Japan and South Korea in the coming days on a trip meant to bolster U.S. alliances seen as important to countering China’s dominance in Asia.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announced the trip Saturday. She will be joined by Sens. John Curtis, R-Utah, Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev. Their visits to Taipei, Tokyo and Seoul are coming before President Donald Trump’s trip to Beijing in May for a rescheduled summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The lawmakers’ stop in Taiwan could draw scrutiny from China, which opposes such relations and sees them as a challenge to its claim of sovereignty over the self-governing island. Taiwan relies on American backing for its democracy, but recent moves by Trump, such as discussing a potential weapons sales to Taiwan with Xi, have raised questions about the future direction of U.S. policy.

Japan JSDF Joint Staff Chief New Year message frames 2026 around a “new integrated operations posture” joint, cross domain, explicitly citing the Joint Operations Command established in March.

Names China’s expanding sea and air activity and DPRK missile launches as core drivers, and reiterates deeper US alliance and partner interoperability under a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.

What no one likes to admit that within the interactions of men truth is aways subjective. Physical science is mostly irrefutable, interpretation and application of that science will forever be subjective.
That’s were people become so invested in ideologies.
If it’s based on empirical science then my interpretation and application of it is also irrefutable.
 
Taiwan’s main opposition parties, the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), are preventing Taiwan from acquiring systems critical to modern warfare. Deadlock in Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan (LY) is also delaying Taiwan’s acquisition of traditional warfighting systems, potentially damaging Taiwan’s military readiness

Beijing imposes 40-day airspace restrictions without announced drills​

Zones extend from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — China has announced restricted airspace off its coast for 40 days without explaining the move, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The zones cover areas north and south of Shanghai, according to the US Federal Aviation Administration. They also extend from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea. The restrictions run from March 27 to May 6.

Beijing has not announced any exercises in the area, the Journal said. The reserved airspace has no vertical ceiling, designated “SFC-UNL,” and is located hundreds of miles from Taiwan.

“What makes this especially notable is the combination of SFC-UNL with an extraordinary 40-day duration — and no announced exercise,” Ray Powell, director of the SeaLight project at Stanford University, told the Journal. “That suggests not a discrete exercise but a sustained operational readiness posture — and one that China apparently doesn’t feel the need to explain.”
