U.S. Defense Experts Game Out A Hypothetical US-China War Over Taiwan
*Bloomberg:** What would happen if the US goes to war with China over Taiwan?* As China waged extensive military exercises off of Taiwan last week, a group of American defense experts in Washington was focused on their own simulation of an eventual — but for now entirely hypothetical — US-China war over the island. The unofficial what-if game is being conducted on the fifth floor of an office building not far from the White House, and it posits a US military response to a Chinese invasion in 2026. Even though the participants bring an American perspective, they are finding th... read more
