There is an alternative attack scenario for China that surprisingly gets little talked about. Instead of frontally attacking it and trying to bomb it into oblivion or invade it across the strait of Taiwan, it could establish a maritime and aerial blockade around the island. That would make it impossible for the US to bring in weapon deliveries, no matter whether "strategic ambigouty" means that Washington plans to directly fight in a war, or just to sell arms and give intel support to Taiwan like it does with Ukraine now. Isolating and strangling the island's economy might be the thing to expect. It would economically suffocate Taiwan if no improts go in and no exports go mout.


For Europe, it would be crippling, and for the US being a majort economic impact event, too.
