Chicom preparing for invasion of Taiwan?

 Breitbart:

Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told Sky News in an interview published Wednesday that China’s military forces “seem to be preparing for their final military assault against Taiwan.”

Taiwan is a sovereign state with no political ties to the Communist Party that has never in its history been governed by Beijing. The Party nonetheless regards Taiwan as a rogue province under the occupation of “secessionist” forces and has repeatedly vowed to colonize the island.

Wu expressed defiance in the face of a prospective invasion from one of the world’s largest militaries.

“This is our country, this is our people and this is our way of life. We will defend ourselves to the very end,” he said. “We are trying to safeguard the status quo that Taiwan is a free and democratic country, that Taiwan is not run by China.”

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, became an independent nation in 1949 when nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-shek evacuated China following their defeat at the hands of Mao Zedong’s communist faction during the Chinese Civil War.

China has not shown the ability to launch a successful amphibious assault in modern history.  While Chian has built a modern navy in anticipation of an invasion, it is not clear that it could pull off such an operation.  I assume Taiwan has an arsenal of anti-ship missiles to deal with the threat.  It is a technologically sophisticated country.  China may believe it can overwhelm the island with numbers.  It is clearly a threat to the people of Taiwan.
