The academic also recommends the United States and Taiwan make several preparations, just incase conflict should occur.
He said: “The United States should harden bases, work with allies, particularly Japan, for additional basing options, continue to make its forces, more survivable and buy more long range missiles, particularly anti-ship missiles, because some inventories are critically low.
“The Taiwanese can adopt a porcupine strategy, deploy more mobile anti-ship missiles, build a fully manned and highly capable army, and spend less on expensive and vulnerable ships and aircraft.”
