The possibility of war between the United States and China persists and worries policymakers in the two countries on a dangerous scale, fueled by fierce economic and political competition and conflict on more than one level.
This is happening in a changing environment in which China is constantly rising to become a future power that threatens the status, hegemony, and military influence of the United States.
The conflict between Washington and Beijing does not stop because of Taiwan, which China insists on returning to its homeland, while the United States pretends to recognize Beijing’s right to do so, and vice versa, they work with their political and military support for Taiwan, which does not recognize its independence and even regularly sends his fleets there to spy on the Dragon’s pulse and reflexes.
In the midst of this, the US Congress prepared a “war game” in which it simulated the behavior of Washington and Beijing and the possible consequences if the Chinese army invaded Taiwan.
This simulation of the US-China war over Taiwan showed that US intervention in the conflict between China and Taiwan would be disastrous.
In early April, China held a three-day exercise in the Taiwan Strait, during which the Chinese army simulated a blockade of the island and sent an aircraft carrier and 12 warships to encircle it, as well as sent more than a hundred warplanes to the air defense identification zone. These maneuvers were seen by the United States and its allies as evidence that China was preparing to rebuild Taiwan by force.
American war game model:
This official U.S. simulation of a war with China over Taiwan was exhibited behind closed doors in the U.S. House of Representatives and represented by members of the U.S. Committee of the Chinese Communist Party formed in the U.S. House of Representatives, Taiwan and the U.S. leadership, the Blue Team, and on behalf of Beijing – “red team” Analysts from the Center for a New American Security also.
This committee, in the context of psychological warfare, was deliberately named the Chinese Communist Party Committee by US lawmakers to distinguish the ruling power in Beijing from the Chinese people.
On this occasion, Mike Gallagher, Chairman of the Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in the US House of Representatives, stated: “We are in the greatest danger of China’s invasion of Taiwan, and the war game emphasized the need to take measures to deter aggression (the Chinese Communist Party) and to arm Taiwan before how any crisis starts.
Former head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral Philip Davidson, also suggested that China could attack Taiwan by 2027.
Scenario of the American war against China:
According to the “war game” scenario, first the Taiwanese opposition demands, and then the authorities of the island to recognize the independence of the island, and the Chinese side begins to send armed forces to it.
The United States tries to stop Beijing from conducting a military operation, and when that attempt fails, they try to help Taipei win.
The Chinese begin a naval blockade of Taiwan, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army launches rocket attacks on the island, and also strikes at US bases in Japan and Guam.
Estimates put initial US wool losses in the thousands, while China and Taiwan’s losses are expected to be greater “of course” and economic losses are expected to be catastrophic for all parties.
U.S. lawmakers were particularly disappointed by the finding that Washington’s regional allies Japan and South Korea provided little to no U.S. military assistance because of Beijing’s diplomatic efforts.
The US “war game” that took place in the corridors of the US Congress was regarded by China as supporting the separatist forces in Taiwan, inciting tension in the Taiwan Strait, which we strongly oppose.”
In the statement, the Chinese diplomat reaffirmed his country’s position that Beijing wants a peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but reserves the “opportunity to take all necessary measures.”
Other Taiwan War Scenarios:
This was not the first imitation of a possible conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. For example, if China invades Taiwan in 2026, the US will lose about 10,000 people, China about 30,000, and Taiwan about 50,000, according to the RAND Corporation think tank.
These are losses only among the military, without taking into account the wounded and casualties among the civilian population. Moreover, both sides will lose a significant part of the navy and air force, not to mention the losses in infrastructure.
