Taiwan Will Use Porcupine Strategy To Defend Itself From China

Taiwan Will Use Porcupine Strategy Against China

Recently China became angry as the speaker of parliament of USA Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. After the visit China went wild and started firing missiles near Taiwan, few of those missiles landed in the special economic zone of Japan and Japan lodged protest against it. The world is anticipating a possible invasion of Taiwan by China. To defend itself from China, Taiwan is preparing for porcupine strategy against China. In this article we will discuss, that what this porcupine strategy is and how will Taiwan defend itself with the help of this strategy.

Porcupine is a small animal which defends itself from bigger animals through the spikes on its body, when a large animal like lion tries to eat a porcupine, it had to eat the spikes on the body of the porcupine, which becomes very painful for the lion and in many cases the bigger animal dies after eating the porcupine. So Taiwan is going to do something similar against China. The military budget of China is 230 Billion US dollar and the military budget of Taiwan is only 8-10 Billion US dollar. So militarily Taiwan is nowhere near China and Taiwan know this fact, that’s why they have not procured useless military equipment like Tanks and naval warships, because Taiwan is an island nation and tanks will not be of any use during a war as the attack would be through the sea.

Taiwan has procured many mines laying ships, land mines and missiles. Taiwan knows that it is nowhere near China in terms of military so it wants to convey the message to China that, if China wants it can invade Taiwan and capture it completely, but the price the Chinese military would have to pay would be huge, China will loose many of its soldiers in the war. Even if China captures Taiwan completely, its military would become so weak that it would not be able to challenge the US military and its allies. Remember that China has many enemies and they would think twice before invading Taiwan and loosing large number of soldiers.
