A Chinese People's Liberation Army General has gone on record to threaten the US if it attempts to uphold the treat to help defend Taiwan against attack.

This sounds to me like they are already laying out their short term strategy for the acquisition of Taiwan and the ensuing battle plan.

Chinese General: We'll Nuke U.S. in Fight for Taiwan

China is prepared to destroy "hundreds" of American cities if it is attacked by the U.S. during a confrontation over Taiwan, a Chinese general said on Thursday.

"If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition onto the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons," said Gen. Zhu Chenghu at a meeting of foreign journalists.

At least we still have some commies out there worth taking semi-seriously in their threats. Imagining an enemy in a uniform is kinda refreshing.

All that means is we have to "first strike" them before defending Taiwan. B-2s and ACMs would castrate their nuclear forces before they could fire a shot.
