🇨🇳🇹🇼China Drills Taiwan Blockade, Leadership Capture with Fishing Vessels China is actively rehearsing a maritime blockade strategy, utilizing thousands of civilian fishing vessels as a coordinated naval militia. Recent drills displayed organized formations near vital East China Sea shipping lanes, demonstrating Beijing's capacity to saturate contested waters. This tactic aims to overwhelm enemy sensors and blur the lines between civilian and military operations, particularly concerning a potential Taiwan crisis. Recent reports indicate China is also rehearsing a rapid leadership capture scenario, similar to the Maduro abduction, as part of its Taiwan operation. PLA drills focused on "decapitation" strikes point to this approach. The Chinese military also practiced options for kidnapping Taiwan's leadership during these exercises, simulating a full-scale war scenario. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
