Is China Preparing for a Blockade of Taiwan?
The Taiwan question is usually framed around one scenario: invasion.
But China may have another option — blockade.
Recent PLA exercises, China Coast Guard operations and maritime encirclement scenarios suggest Beijing is developing the capability to isolate Taiwan, disrupt its energy and supply lines, and apply enormous political pressure without immediately launching a full-scale invasion.
