Taiwan is reportedly facing a complex potential scenario involving a Chinese blockade, earthquake, sabotage, and invasion, according to an exclusive report by Reuters. This scenario aligns with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) strategies, which suggest using a blockade to force Taiwan’s capitulation or set conditions for an invasion.
