This is a simulation of a hypothetical PRC invasion of Taiwan in the near future.  The game assumes that China achieves a high level of surprise by launching an air mobile assault with six brigades of special forces, coupled with precision strikes by ballistic and cruise missiles.  To preserve the element of surprise, amphibious forces are not on high alert, and will not arrive for at least 48 hours.  You play the PRC, and time is not on your side. Taiwan will start attacking mainland ports and airfields with cruise missiles, which will eventually cripple China’s economy and war effort.  Taiwanese scientists will also be hard at work on building nuclear weapons.  The game assumes that ROC forces are incapable of maneuvering for the first four days of the conflict due to PRC air superiority and the destruction of key command and control infrastructure.  Taiwanese army reservists will also start to reinforce ROC defenses.  You need to win fast.  Good Luck!

Do you think "invade" is an approprait word to discribe China mainland and Taiwan island?

Good question.  I think the term invade has a more neutral meaning in English than in Chinese.  The Allied invasion of Normandy was a very welcome event for most Frenchmen....but we still call it an invasion.  The British Invasion of the 1960s was a welcome cultural phenomenon that is fondly remembered in the US.  We also use the term invasion in the context of civil wars.  Here is a Wikipedia article on the Atlanta Campaign....the article uses the word invaded to describe a military operation, and does not imply that the Confederacy was not part of the United States.   An invasion may lead to liberation, reunification, independence, or subjugation.  This game does not take a position on what happens after the invasion.  It is only intended to explore the mechanics of a military operation. 

I hope that helps.

Thank you very much for reply, the culture gap between different civilization is truely exist. The reference you give can explain this issue very well. Hope more people in misunderstand can speak for the divergence itself, rather than out put irrational emotions.

No problem

If you are interested, there is a lot of information across the internet on Operation Causeway.  This was a US plan to invade Taiwan in WWII that was ultimately canceled.  Backers of the plan wanted to help China by using Taiwan as a base to interdict Japanese shipping to occupied Chinese costal cities.  An invasion would have required too many troops, so the US opted to invade Okinawa instead.  The Okinawa operation involved 250,000 Allied combat troops and 12 aircraft carriers.  US planners estimated that Taiwan would have required more than 500,000 combat troops.
