New Scenario for Taiwan Contingency: Simulating the Impact of the US-Iran War on China's Invasion of Taiwan in Five Phases - Newsweek Japan April 21 Issue Now Available!

Editor's Note:
"The US-Iran war has changed the 'fundamental premise' of the Taiwan contingency, they say. Initially, the prevailing view was that both the US and China would cautiously make 'one move at a time' to avoid escalating the situation. However, with President Trump's 'Epic Fury' operation, the possibility of the US military suddenly launching full-scale attacks on mainland China has become a reality. Similarly, the Chinese military could strike US military bases in Okinawa and elsewhere with full force from the outset. Realistically, however, the contingency is likely to begin with a 'blockade' of Taiwan. If that happens, how will the situation unfold, and who will ultimately win? In the feature 'New Scenario for Taiwan Contingency' in the issue released on April 14, we simulate China's invasion of Taiwan in five phases. (Nagaoka)"
