The United States should support Taiwan’s military modernization, both by providing access to modern systems and by facilitating the island nation’s interaction with its own and other, friendly militaries.

Given that Taiwan is roughly one hundred miles from the coast of mainland China, it would not be difficult for the 320-ship-strong PLA Navy to maintain a large, concentrated naval force surrounding the island.

China could use its space assets to jam or disable Taiwanese GPS and communication systems while concurrently launching advanced cyber intrusions into Taiwanese systems.   

Over the years, many strategists have speculated that China might try to take over Taiwan.
