we'd finally make a move to do something about it a week after it happened

And it would be against Taiwan, and we'd apologize to the CCCP.

Do they express different reasoning than the Townhall columnist does?

I have not, personally, discussed it in depth with them.  My wife says our friends tell her that high level politicians are the only people who seem concerned.

If you think the Chinese don’t already know this information, you would be mistaken.

 

If you think the aircraft that Taiwan sends up to monitor these incursion use active sensors to do so, you would also be mistaken.

 

QRA flights routinely blank any active scanning, because GC can do the job for them without giving away the farm.

i suspect the main elint collection they are after is on ground based radars.
part of the equation is to keep doing it until it becomes so common that taiwan becomes complacent.........

Interesting.  Maybe it would be too stressful to think about it all the time, or it's realistically not an acute worry.

As the calm middle of the road man  and the purveyor of all things decent and good, and official CHEST historian, I find incumbent upon myself to point out that the use of the abbreviation CHICOM is both offensive and racist and has caused some members to be the recipient of Mod action in the past.

 

Everyone please show a modicum of decency and respect.

The incursions into Taiwan’s Air Defence Zone are more annoyances than anything else.

 

To mount a full-scale invasion, China will need to mass surface transportation and troops close enough to the Taiwan Strait. There is no way that will go unnoticed.

 

Add to that the distance Chinese forces will need to travel, the Strait is 130km at its narrowest, and the size of the problem becomes clearer. This is close to the distance travelled by the Allied forces to make the D-Day landings.

 

If China were about to stage an operation of that size, someone might notice.

Definitely, the logistics of an amphibious assault are quite daunting.  I am not sure if there is an active resistance or pro-CCP group in Taiwan like there was in France in 1944, but I highly doubt it or we would be hearing something about it.
