🇺🇸🤜🇨🇳 A US military operational scenario for repelling a PLA landing on Taiwan. Deadline: April 1, 2027. The Pentagon considers countering a Chinese amphibious operation its principal challenge in the Indo-Pacific. Beijing employs an anti-access strategy around the first island chain. The PLA’s plan includes isolating the combat zone through missile strikes, bombarding the coast and landing troops. China’s advantages include interior lines of operation, missile stockpiles and troop numbers. The US military’s main vulnerability remains its long logistical supply line from the continental United States: 21 hours by air or 28 days by sea. This severely limits response speed. US troop deployments must be completed by April 1, 2027, the PLA’s mandated readiness deadline, which coincides with favorable sea and weather conditions in the strait. #info #USA #China #Taiwan
