Can the U.S. Military Stop China from Invading Taiwan? Time for a Wargame.

The U.S. Air Force held a war game in the fall of 2020, looking at what would happen in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, ten years in the future. According to Defense News, the simulated war involved “drones acting as a sensing grid, an advanced sixth-generation fighter jet able to penetrate the most contested environments, cargo planes dropping pallets of guided munitions and other novel technologies yet unseen on the modern battlefield.”
The result of the war game was that “the U.S. military was able to prevent a total takeover of Taiwan by confining Chinese forces to a single area.” The exercise, however, went better from the U.S. than other recent exercises, in 2018 and 2019, involving a war with China.
