China wants to capture Taiwan by 2027
While China’s military maneuvers in various programs, along with the approved U.S. military aids and the changing nature of its relationship with Taiwan, have altered the geopolitical situation in East Asia, new official news from the U.S. Department of Defense about Xi Jinping’s plans has influenced all calculations.
Colin Kahl, one of the most prominent officials in the U.S. Department of Defense, recently stated clearly at a conference that the Chinese leader has set a specific timeline for his country’s military and communicated it as explicit deadlines to capture Taiwan by 2027.
