The report said the mainland Chinese People's Liberation Army was likely to use multipronged approaches to launch a full-blown attack, including joint strikes and landing operations, to seize Taiwan in the shortest time with minimal losses. The report, which was worked out in line with Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng's assumption in October that the PLA would have the ability to mount a full-scale invasion by 2025, urges the legislature to support weapons procurements to counter such aggression.

A Chinese military drill could turn into full-scale attack, Taiwan warns
Mainland China may stage a surprise attack on Taiwan by turning its joint drills close to the self-ruled island into full-scale combat operations, the defence ministry in Taipei has warned. Such a move would be in keeping with Beijing's goal to invade Taiwan by 2025, according to a ministry report submitted to the Taiwanese legislature.
