If Taiwan is physically taken by the PLA Navy it would immediately put Australia very easily in the line of fire. As a result there is no way that Australia can stay out of it, simply because it is a frontline state. So if Australia quits then it will be the end of their security guarantee (ANZUS). In reality Australia might not be interested in war but the war will be very much interested in Australia. That is before Australia could even think of pre-emptively responding, the whole country might be crippled in a massive nuclear strike. So for China it makes strategic sense to use nuclear weapons over Australia. These intelligence capabilities will be definitely used by the Americans to try and get ahead of the Chinese during an ongoing war. These stations are Pine Gap and North West Cape. Under the ANZUS security treaty alliance between America and Australia, the Australian soil has got two American intelligence gathering stations in Australia. So once the nuclear exchange starts there is no looking back for either side. This will certainly not physically eliminate China because they will be having their thermonuclear weapons that are the most credible arsenal in the form of the SSBNs. And any intense conventional bombing done by China on America, might lead to America deciding to launch a massive nuclear strike on China. This is because America has adopted the posture of first use of nuclear weapons. Once that happens China would prefer to hit Australia much harder than America. In this background one does hope that USA irrespective of the physical consequences of a war will step inside to fight China. The USA knows very well that if it will not defend Taiwan then it will be established that China is the sole superpower.
So the Chinese in order to have an extremely successful invasion of Taiwan will have all these missiles targeting the Taiwanese military leadership both on the North and South parts of Taiwan.
China has thousands and thousands of missiles that are arrayed along the east coast of China.
It is well known from Chinese writings that they have studied Desert Storm. China has learnt a strategy from the Americans in terms of the Desert Storm during the first gulf war. Third reason is that Taiwan is an extremely rich country with the sixth largest foreign exchange reserve of US$ 543 billion. Second is a strategic reason that is giving China a massive reach into the Pacific Ocean particularly up to the Central Pacific in order to replace American influence. First is the promise made by the Chinese Government to the Chinese people of making Taiwan an integral part of China and by that it will also help him remain President for life. Militarily establishing control over Taiwan is a must for Xi Jinping due to three reasons. China’s President Xi Jinping is shaping to Taiwan, the tiny island nation like never before.
