Does Taiwan have a Chance against China?

China seems far more capable than Russia and their military strategy of blockading Taiwan looks foolproof. Doesn't look like the US & NATO will be able to help unless they get directly involved.

Bottom line - the PLA is not presently capable of mounting an invasion of Taiwan for many of the reasons commented already. I would add, though, that there are certain areas (armored vehicles specifically) in which China would have a definite technological advantage.

Bear in mind though, that there are large PLA combat groups intended singularly for a strategic amphibious operation against Taiwan, so, while such an operation definitely couldn’t be launched anytime particularly soon, there’s compelling evidence suggesting the Chinese military is very thoughtfully planning for it
