"The island has 14 beaches usable for military landings. All but one are surrounded by cliffs and urban jungles, perfect places for the Taiwanese army to hide forces that would attack anything coming ashore and anything used in bringing it ashore, including the piers themselves." And then there are mountains overlooking all of them as well.

LTC Eric Udouj I spent a couple of months attached to a Taiwan Special Forces, Rough Terrain Parachutist Team. We spent all of our time in the interior of the country where tourist never go. From some of what I experienced, their military is ready and capable of preventing an invasion by Chinese Floating Pier Builders!

TW SOF is very good. The whole of the country has changed dramatically in past 30 years as the divide between those who arrived with the KMT and those these before slowly all becomes one and the days of martial law fade. No question anymore as to if the TW people will fight - its in making sure they are organized to fight.
Been into a few place of interior in the north.... know what you mean. Have not been up in the high mountains in the center in the tribal areas.

How China Could Blockade Taiwan
China has options other than invasion to try to force Taiwan’s unification, one of which is a blockade. This report explores the potential motivations and strategic calculus for a blockade and maps out possible scenarios of how China could approach blockade operations.

SFC Bernard Walko Interesting concept but remember most of the Trump labeled merchandise is made in China, then there's all those trademarks held by Ivanka.

SFC Bernard Walko Trump has zero leadership ability. His businesses are constantly on the edge of bankruptcy and are sustained only thru fraudulently obtained bank loans. Go ahead and hang your hat on that, as foolish as it may be.
Not exactly sure what world you lived in during his administration, but it definitely was not at peace and it was Trump who set up the withdrawal timetable from Afghanistan which the Biden administration simply followed.

Well if West Taiwan did try to invade East Taiwan getting to the beach is the first hurdle to overcome. Small area, known routes make subs the controlling factor. If Taiwan got ahold of some Gotland Class Subs no one would make it to the beach.
