    Report: China’s maritime outposts could distract Taiwan’s allies if Beijing invades

    A Taiwanese government report suggests that China’s South China Sea outposts, like Antelope Reef, could serve as a distraction to delay foreign military intervention during a potential invasion of Taiwan. Experts question the report’s 48-72 hour delay estimate, noting it lacks validation through rigorous simulations, though they acknowledge the logic of using distributed, expendable bases to complicate adversary planning.
