Taiwan Is Defensible — But the Real Question Is What It Will Cost
Drones can raise the price of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, but they cannot overcome geography or eliminate escalation risks. CSIS war-game simulations show that a U.S.-Japan-Taiwan coalition could repel an assault in most scenarios, yet at the cost of dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and thousands of personnel. Taiwan's defense is not impossible — but the illusion of "cheap deterrence" must be confronted honestly.
