Taiwan - China Ready for War in 2027

Update on 1st January 2026 added further down:
Support of One-China stance by 'Friendly Nations'

A draft Pentagon report reviewed by Reuters last week argued that China expects to have the ability to launch a war and win against Taiwan by the end of 2027 at the latest, a point that coincides with the centenary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. 2027 has been seen as the point at which an invasion may occur.

Some analysts said that this time is not an established goal, and it should perhaps be understood as a starting point, that is, military operations will be feasible from 2027, and the use of force is Beijing's last choice. In order to avoid Taiwan's resistance, as well as direct confrontation with the United States, Beijing certainly hopes to allow Taiwan to make concessions and compromises in advance as much as possible without using force, such as imposing a blockade and opening negotiations with Taiwan. A Taiwanese security official pointed out: “China is trying to gradually advance control of the entire archipelago through various forms of ‘extreme pressure’ means.” He added that Beijing intends to reshape the international order in accordance with its own goals.

China's new long-range ICBM named "DF-61" means "60 nukes plus one hydrogen bomb", says China's strategist Viktor Gao referring to the military parade on TianAnMen-Square in Beijing on September 3, 2025.

Viktor Gao is known as President of the China Energy Security Institute. He is a chair professor at Soochow University. Lately, he became equally known as Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization when he attended the Doha Forum 2025. Here comes his recent interview with an Arabic TV station:






The above video explains Beijing’s position, global diplomatic response, and why dozens of countries reaffirmed the one-China principle. It breaks down China’s warnings on sovereignty, stability in the Taiwan Strait, and concerns over external interference.

Countries in support of the one-China stance have their individual reasons for that: Some belong to international alliances like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan), others have their special experience with US politics. Such countries comprise Russia, Iran, Cuba, Serbia, Pakistan, Laos and Samoa, Zimbabwe and the African Union.

Comment from "blueprinteditor" for the Beginning of a New Global Era in 2026 Today's world is led, either by morally degraded guys like Trump, Netanyahu and their Epstein “friends in spirit“, each of them rotten in an individual way, or by sober strategists like Putin or Xi JinPing, coming together with lots of national leaders who want to ameliorate the fate of their people whatever it costs. But “whatever it costs“ implies in most cases the need to “do like the successful are doing“, and which “naturally“ excludes the presence of some basic morality in daily politics. What we observe is the presence of intelligent actors in a “pro-China alliance of the unwilling“, while the “pro-Trump alliance of the dumb“ is assembling all those mediocre guys and freaks like Robert Kennedy jun or Elon Musk, some of them united in their hate of “stinking academics“, meanwhile seen as the people's good-for-nothings. By the way, the expression “stinking academics“ originally refers to a classification used during China's Cultural Revolution when many Chinese lived on the brink of starvation. An elevated formation, once seen as the entrance into a better and easier personal life experience in the West, has now been replaced by the ideology of “shooting your teacher instead of learning from him“. This, at least, is a trend of thought that has silently swapped from the USA into Western Europe during the last decades and the fatal results of which can already be observed in the country I live in.
