A RAND Corporation study for the United States Air Force titled Shaking the Heavens and Splitting the Earth gives a grim picture of Taiwan’s security.
The 274-page study by the Washington, D.C. think-tank reviews the Chinese Air Force with a detailed look at capabilities.
The RAND report warns, “First, if the United States intervenes in a conflict between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan, it should expect attacks on its forces and facilities in the western Pacific, including those in Japan.”
