U.S. defense officials acknowledge China’s growing Pacific military activities but remain skeptical about its ability to invade Taiwan by 2027, pointing to gaps in amphibious forces, logistical support, and air dominance critical for success.

“If we invade Taiwan, who’s going to tell the difference between our supply chain crisis and theirs?”
“By 2027, we will demonstrate the same operational brilliance that brought us our zero-COVID success.”
“Operational decisions are tough when your entire chain of command is terrified of making a mistake.”
