Should China invade Taiwan, what possible strategies would the People's Liberation Army deploy? Renowned journalist Chifei Fan explores different types of Chinese aggression and the prerequisites for each strategy. Taking advantage of Taiwan’s dependence on imported energy, maritime blockade would be one of PLA’s possible maneuver. Judging from the aerial proximity between Taiwan and China, the PLA would always keep lightning offensive up in its sleeve. Considering Taiwan’s unforgiving coastal geography, an amphibious attack on Taiwan would cost PLA gravely; taking over civilian airports and harbors for large-scale offloading would be PLA’s top priority, indicating a possible hybrid invasion coordinated with missile attack. Stay tuned for more in-depth analysis on this perilous cat and mouse game, and how Taiwan could defend itself and preserve regional stability.

Chifei Fan is a veteran journalist with over 20 years of experience as a Taiwanese correspondent to the U.S. During her career, Fan has worked for various media outlets, including TVBS and SETN. Since 2019, Fan has produced and hosted the Mandarin-language international news show The World Today (Today 看世界) for the online platform Line Today. Fan also produces English- and Mandarin-language content on her YouTube channel ‪@fanamericantime‬, where she invites Taiwanese and international experts to discuss some of the most pressing issues of today.
