Super interesting: Why a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan Is Logistically Impossible

Duet with Chad Scott

Chad Scott focuses on the widespread claim that China could successfully invade Taiwan via amphibious assault. Drawing on historical precedent, current military capabilities, and sheer logistical limitations, He explains why this scenario is not only improbable—it’s functionally impossible.

From troop transport numbers and ship limitations to Taiwan's fortified coastlines and U.S. surveillance, the video lays out the overwhelming challenges China would face. Chad emphasizes that even if China attempted to land 1 million troops, the effort would be met with insurmountable resistance at every stage—from intelligence leaks to bottlenecked landings, poor vehicle support, and total lack of air superiority.

Using comparisons to D-Day at Normandy and the size of the Taiwan Strait, he drives home why Taiwan is simply not vulnerable to the type of assault many commenters envision.

This is a clear, grounded, and detailed look at the harsh realities behind amphibious warfare in the 21st century and why, despite the rhetoric, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan remains firmly in the realm of fantasy.
