China Analyzes Iran's Failed Attack on Israel, Preparing for Possible Taiwan Invasion

Experts believe China is closely analyzing Iran's recent failed attack on Israel to gain insights for a potential invasion of Taiwan. The attack, which involved over 300 drones and missiles, was largely thwarted by Israel and its allies, raising questions about China's ability to overcome similar defenses.

Rupert Hammond-Chambers, president of the US-Taiwan Business Council, believes China will dissect the incident, focusing on both the Iranian attack strategy and the successful response by Israel and its allies. He highlights the high kill rate achieved against the drones and missiles, demonstrating the advanced technology possessed by the US and its allies.

This analysis is particularly relevant for Taiwan, which, like Israel, anticipates US support in the event of a Chinese attack. However, Hammond-Chambers expresses concerns about the level of coordination within the pro-Taiwan alliance compared to the seamless collaboration witnessed in the case of Israel.

The analysis of the Iranian attack comes amidst growing tensions between China and Taiwan. The island's recent election victory by the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party has further strained relations, with China conducting military exercises near Taiwan in response.

Former commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence, Mike Studeman, warns of China's rapid military modernization and its potential implications for Taiwan. He believes China is accelerating its military development to gain options for a Taiwan invasion.

With tensions continuing to rise, the analysis of Iran's failed attack serves as a crucial indicator of China's preparedness and potential strategies for a possible invasion of Taiwan.
