Not the First Wave Yet

The recent opening of charter air flights between China and Taiwan is no cause for celebration as far as I'm concerned:

A surprise invasion would be led off by Chinese units unloading from civilian ships in Taiwanese ports and could now be supplemented by chartered flights of softball teams, and bowling teams, and chess teams from China that all seem to be made up of burly young men with short hair.


I admit, the first group doesn't appear to be composed of special forces types. Well, they could have been forty or fifty years ago, I suppose.

But when those grim-faced sports teams start arriving on Taiwan, watch them closely.
