China’s military could isolate Taiwan, cripple its economy, and compel the democratic island to submit to Beijing’s Communist Party without firing a shot, as reported by a prominent think tank. Concerns have escalated due to Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s aggressive stance towards Taiwan, sparking fears of a potential takeover. Analysts suggest China could use a quarantine tactic, employing ‘gray zone’ tactics just below the threshold of war to cut off Taiwan’s access to essential supplies. This method could involve actions by the China Coast Guard and maritime agencies to enforce a blockade, potentially isolating Taiwan. The report also highlights China’s efforts to build cyber weapons, potentially crippling Taiwan’s infrastructure without direct military action.
