CCP Has Preparation but No Plan to Invade Taiwan Yet: Experts

The CCP’s internal military purge and the lack of amphibious combat capability hold the regime back from annexation of Taiwan by force.

Beijing denied that it has plans to attack Taiwan in 2027 or 2035 at the U.S.–China Summit in San Francisco last week, and the United States and China agreed to restart military communications.

Taiwanese experts believe that the CCP may not attack Taiwan (Republic of China) in the short term due to lack of capability and internal chaos, but is making preparations for it.
