China has been engaged in so much activity around Taiwan that it'll be hard to tell when the actual assault begins...

20 PLA aircraft and 5 PLAN vessels around our surrounding region were detected today (Sept. 17, 2022) until 1700(GMT+8). #ROCArmedForces have monitored the situation and responded to these activities with aircraft in CAP, naval vessels, and land-based missile systems. pic.twitter.com/G35GVDPEPi

I thought the Chinese would have knocked this stuff off by now but they continue. Withthis much activity (assuming they can keep it up indefinitely), they'll wear down the defenders and it'll be hard to know when its actually the assault or just another big exercise.
