U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 has been preparing for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan for over a year, according to reports. The elite Special Forces unit has been training at their Virginia base for missions that could become necessary if China moves to assert control over the island nation.
China has long viewed Taiwan as a breakaway province and has increased its military activity in the South China Sea, building artificial islands equipped with missile systems. These moves are seen as an effort to counter U.S. naval dominance and secure China’s control over the region.
In response, the U.S. military has begun preparing for the worst. SEAL Team 6’s specialized training is part of a broader plan to defend Taiwan if China invades.
The U.S. has also reactivated two Pacific airstrips, originally constructed during World War II, to provide strategic support for any future conflict.
While the exact nature of China’s plans for Taiwan remains unclear, the U.S. is not taking any chances. SEAL Team 6’s preparations highlight the seriousness of the situation and the potential for conflict between two global powers in the Pacific.
