It has been a long time since Taiwan has been the subject of a dispute between China and the United States.
However, the United States claims to adhere to the one-China policy. The US often implies that it will defend Taiwan in the event that China attacks Taiwan. However, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), an American think tank, has highlighted the possible effects of war game simulations. The report’s findings are ready. Read on to see what the report says about the consequences if China invades Taiwan in 2026.
Military destruction of three nations
In the event that China invades the island nation of Taiwan in 2026, the armies of the United States, China, and Taiwan will seriously collapse. Since Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives, visited Taiwan, China has been trying to show the world its military might. Despite serious tensions over the South China Sea, Chinese aggression cannot be stopped.
The report titled “The First Battle of the Next War” states that the United States and Japan have lost countless ships, thousands of soldiers, and hundreds of aircraft. The report said such losses would greatly damage the US’s global standing. Moreover, the damage on the Chinese side cannot be ignored. About 32,000 US troops will be destroyed in just 3 weeks of fighting. However, on the other hand, about 10,000 Chinese soldiers will be killed and the country could lose about 155 fighters and 138 large ships, according to the report.
Success of the invasion
In total, the Center for Strategic and International Studies conducted simulations of the war game 24 times. Now, after so many simulations, is it possible to answer the question of whether the invasion was successful or not? Well, according to reports, China’s invasion of Taiwan will not succeed. However, the report made it clear that in the event of war, it would have a huge impact on all sides.
Consequences for Taiwan’s economy
The report made an important point. It is said that if China attacks Taiwan, the island nation’s economy will collapse. After such a situation, Taiwan’s economy will lack basic resources and electricity.
