#1 China still has a huge transport problem. There is no way it can plop the estimated 2.5 million men it needs on a beach in Taiwan in 30 days with the landing craft they have. Until they can, this is all just pissing in the wind by the Chinese.

I think they are hoping that the Taiwanese will just get sick of it and surrender.
