Putin didn't care if there was infrastructure or people on the land he wants.

Entirely different military objectives. Not much to learn from Russia's mistakes.

A variation of Putin's invasion plan.

Install as many Xi puppets into high office in Taiwan.
Use propaganda to convince some of the Taiwan populace to be pro-China.
So when Xi invades it is a civil war, not an invasion.

Send in Chinese troops to Taipei, kill or capture top Taiwan leadership.
Take over all communication and airports in Taipei.

Send in more troops and supplies. All of it will be over quickly?

Trump won't interfere.
