If China attacks Taiwan, the PLA will learn what it is like to fight an insurgency. Invading and controlling Taiwan are not the same.
PLA is fully capable of destroying all of Taiwan's military installations within a few hours, before seizing the island shortly after. Chinese army & people have such self-confidence. At the same time, we strongly support maintaining peace. Sparking a conflict should be avoided.
