Commentary: China’s Golden Window Is Open—The Conditions Are Perfect for a Full-Scale Invasion

Imagine waking up one morning—soon—to frightening news.

Reports are not good and the implication is that the country will likely soon be going to war—against another world power.

Videos show Chinese troops in the midst of a surprise invasion on the island of Taiwan.

Machine guns chatter in the distance as American-trained Taiwanese soldiers alongside a contingent of U.S. Marines stage a desperate attempt to prevent mainland forces from securing a beachhead.

While the island’s few aging fighter jets put up a good fight, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force has established clear air superiority. This from westernjournal.com.

Still imagining: There has been no word from the White House all morning.

Suddenly, the camera cuts to Washington, D.C., as Joe Biden solemnly shuffles to a podium on the South Lawn, leans into the microphone and begins to slur his words.

There’s no telling what this asshat will say—or if his statement will even be remotely lucid—he may tell us he wiped his own ass and was given ice cream as a prize.

Hard to imagine a worse-case scenario for our country, yes?

This is China’s golden window.

Convincing struggling, disgusted Americans to intervene in a foreign war some 7,000 miles away is a tough sell in the first place.

[E]ven if [the] Biden [Regime] is able to unite Americans against a common enemy, [it] faces some major challenges.

Chiefly, U.S. forces face a screen of defenses seemingly purpose-built to stop an American intervention cold.

The best solution for Biden would normally be a blockade.

U.S. warships would enter the Taiwan Strait, cutting off Chinese forces while preventing more from landing.

Without ammunition or reinforcements, the communist beachhead would soon collapse.

China, however, knows this is the single biggest obstacle to an invasion.

And although the country hasn’t yet floated a navy to match ours, it doesn’t need to.

Hypersonic ship-killing missiles developed by China can be rapidly produced, and are difficult to counter. Even small swarms of these could devastate a U.S. carrier group.

These missiles would turn the area around Taiwan into a no-go zone, and taking them out would require escalating American involvement beyond a simple naval blockade.

While [the] Biden [Regime] may believe [it] can martial the political will needed to rally Americans into supporting airstrikes or a ground war against China, heavy foreign conflict would be nearly impossible amid rising gas prices and bare grocery store shelves.

When the prize is explained to be the freedom of an island most people can’t identify on a map, this becomes even more difficult.

Biden won’t be here forever, though.

Changing political winds ushered in Republicans across the board in Virginia this week and elsewhere, while major elections in 2022 and 2024 hold promise of a major shakeup as well.

For China, America’s current weak leadership constitutes a perfect adversary.

In the eyes of the Chinese leaders, now is the opportune time. Waiting around could soon see another firebrand Republican take the White House, virtually guaranteeing a U.S. response.

China openly claims the island as its own wayward province, and often calls Taiwanese independence a “dead end.” There’s only so long the 1.3 billion-strong country can rattle that saber and allow a free Taiwan.

And with mainland China’s golden window rapidly closing, the time to act has clearly arrived.

American misleadership certainly is not prepared for this choice that will soon be facing them.

We have a woke military—some members more concerned about the color of their underwear than the cleanliness of their weapon—and a bumbling near-brain-dead occupier of the White House.

Bottom Line: For Taiwan, their independence is screwed and America is soon to be elevated up an appropriate-target list.

President Trump you are dearly missed sir.
