Interesting to think about how China could invade Taiwan and if the US could hit the invasion fleet and at what cost to the Navy.

But China may not need to invade Taiwan if it can choke off shipping to Taiwan, cripple Taiwan’s economy, and keep Taiwan in an economic depression until a Hong Kong-like agreement looks preferable to permanent misery.

Since the Navy can’t stop the Houthi attacks on shipping, it can’t stop China from doing the same.
