Original Note:

Contrary to the post, Taiwan is not surrounded, and China would need to move a substantial amount of troops and ships in place for any hypothetical invasion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Chinese_military_exercises_around_Taiwan?wprov=sfla1 https://www.dw.com/en/china-launches-fresh-war-games-around-taiwan/a-70483275 https://youtu.be/EAW30qmn9lQ?si=DXUubrj4ctGZy_S3
