“In most cases it is unlikely that China will succeed and achieve its operational objectives.”, or achieve “occupy taipei”, the capital of Taiwan, concluded Eric Heginbothama security expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The simulation tested 24 different scenarios, each involving attempts by China to forcibly seize Taiwan by 2026.

According to projections, without US aid the island – which has an autonomous government, but which China claims as part of its territory – would fall in a maximum of three months, amid bombings and land invasions.

Nevertheless, “the cost of the war would be high for all involved, and certainly for the United StatesHeginbotham added.
