Taiwanese porcupine defence strategy... a self delusion, a wet dream

 The dimwit Americans and the equally dim Taiwanese huddled together behind closed doors and came out with this 'brilliant' porcupine defence strategy to deter China from unifying Taiwan by force. They wanted to emulate Singapore's poison pawn strategy. However, the situation in Taiwan is totally different from Singapore and a porcupine would in no way be effective against China.

The assumptions for this strategy: 1, the Taiwanese are all willing to fight and die to defend Taiwan's independence. 2, the Taiwanese armed forces and weapons systems would be good enough to hold the PLA for a few weeks to wait for the American and Japanese forces to arrive. 3, the Americans and Japanese are willing to fight and die for Taiwan. 4, The PLA cannot defeat the American and Japanese forces.

Assumption one, how many Taiwanese would want to fight and die in a losing war? An independent Taiwan would only benefit a few corrupt politicians, not the majority of the Taiwanese. What are the alternatives for the Taiwanese? Unification with the mainland means life as usual, perhaps even better, with greater opportunities and the right to be first class citizens of a superpower, China. Fighting China is sure death and destruction, like stupid Ukrainians. The corrupt pro independence Taiwanese would be the first to run away when war started. The choice is clear.

Assumption two, the Taiwanese armed forces would be crippled within hours when China decides to launch a missile attack on the island. The overwhelming fire power of the PLA is thousands of times more destructive than Taiwan. Many Taiwan generals would not fight, no need to fight in a losing war, no need to die foolishly when they can continue to be generals after reunification. 

China will not fire the first shot, but will deliver a crushing blow to any Taiwan military units that fired at the PLA. There is a high possibility that the PLA would be invited in without a fight. The Taiwan generals are not stupid. They already know what the ending would be like.

Assumption three, the white men and the Japanese would fight and die for the Taiwanese. The Americans would not even die for the Ukrainians, only using the foolish Ukrainians to fight their brothers in Russia. The Ukraine War only benefit the corrupt politicians while the daft Ukrainians just die like flies. Who the hell the Taiwanese think they are that the Americans and Japanese would die for them?

If China is a military weak country, the Americans and the Japs would risk some of their own lives to defend Taiwan and then defeat China. But this is impossible with today's China, backed by Russia and North Korea.

Assumption four, the combined forces of the Americans and the Japs, even if they dare to intervene, will be no match for the PLA in PLA's homeground. Period.

The silly porcupine defence strategy is only to fool the Taiwanese. Both the Americans and the Taiwanese plotters know that it would not work, just a bluff, thinking that they can also bluff the PLA.

The Taiwanese better wake up from their silly wet dreams and face reality. The corrupt Taiwanese politicians and American and Japanese provocateurs are selling them out like they sold out the Ukrainians. Wake up and drive the traitors out of Taiwan and reunify with China and enjoy the privilege of being citizens of a rich and prosperous China.

There is no need to fight and die like silly Ukrainians. There is no need to fight and die for a few corrupt Taiwanese traitors that are in cahoot with the Japanese and Americans. There is no need to fight and die for the Japanese and Americans.
