FT: the outcome of the US-China conflict will be determined by the “battlefields” in Taiwan
Military experts have named five “battlefields” in Taiwan that will determine the outcome of the conflict between the United States and China. About it reported Financial Times (FT) newspaper.
The publication assessed the likelihood of a clash between the two countries in the battle for the island as high. It is noted that Taiwan, located approximately 180 kilometers from the coast of China, occupies a strategically important position for both China and the United States. The author of the material clarified that Beijing wants to unite Taiwan with mainland China in order to move US military bases away from East Asia. If this scenario is realized, there will be a breakthrough in the chain of US-friendly islands in the Western Pacific Ocean.”
The FT noted that the main battles will take place from sea to space. The confrontation between the two countries will include “Rocket War”, “Small Islands and Narrows”, “Hidden Weapons”, “Battle for Space” and “The Greatest Fear”. The latter involves the use of nuclear weapons. The military classified the American submarine fleet as a hidden weapon.
Earlier, the head of the US Department of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, said that China’s invasion of Taiwan would lead to the seizure of chip manufacturer TSMC, which would result in an economic disaster for the United States.
