🚨🇨🇳🇹🇼CHINA COULD INVADE TAIWAN IN 1 HOUR
A military expert who predicted Russia’s invasion of Ukraine estimates that if China decides to invade Taiwan, it would all be over before the U.S. had the chance to do anything.
Within the first 15 minutes of the invasion, the island’s airports would be taken, and by 30 minutes, troops would have seized the capital.
An invasion would spell disaster for the global economy as Taiwan manufactures 70% of the world’s semiconductors.
