The feature above was shown yesterday on ABC’s This Week. I found it interesting but unsatisfying. For example, there was no mention of an earlier wargame with a similar scenario I reported on a few weeks ago. As you may recall the outcome of that session was that Japanese preparedness was an absolute essential.
Unanswered, was the war game realistic in that either side was allowed to use their strategic weapons (i.e. nuclear weapons).
And if allowed, then one has to decide whether whoever is roleplaying the Chairmen of the Military Commission believes Taiwan is an existential matter that mandates the use of nuclear weapons.
