FAT CAT RAND SAYS CHINA CAN USE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS FOR TAIWAN INVASION

I suspect RAND is talking about their simulated wargames rather than reality. In reality, an amphibious conquest of Taiwan would be difficult. RAND might be stirring up panic for profit, or maybe they believe their own malarkey.

From Yahoo:

the U.S. Air Force simulated a conflict set more than a decade in the future that began with a Chinese biological-weapon attack that swept through U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific region. Then a major Chinese military exercise was used as cover for the deployment of a massive invasion force. The simulation culminated with Chinese missile strikes raining down on U.S. bases and warships in the region, and a lightning air and amphibious assault on the island of Taiwan.

The highly classified war game, which has not been previously made public, took place less than a year after the coronavirus, reportedly originating in a Chinese market, spread to the crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, taking one of the U.S. Navy’s most significant assets out of commission.
