Taiwan's 'porcupine strategy' to fight a potential Chinese invasion is learning lessons from Ukraine

Taiwan is learning lessons from Ukraine on how it could defend itself against a possible Chinese invasion, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in February, the country has effectively used smaller weapons to fight back and humiliate Russia's larger army.

This method of defense aligns with Taiwan's "porcupine strategy," also known as asymmetrical warfare, which it uses to prepare for a possible Chinese invasion.

The strategy was first introduced by then-chief of the Taiwanese military forces Lee Hsi-Ming in 2017 and involved stocking up on anti-air, anti-tank, and anti-ship weapons rather than larger equipment.

You just have to inflict enough pain that they will decide it's not worth it.

2. They are going to also need leadership and communication back up and contingency plans.

The Chinese plan is like the one in Ukraine that failed.

Initially go in and assassinate or kidnap Taiwan civilian and military leadership.
Disable communication systems.

Get the major airports.
