Taiwan is said to be preparing to unleash a unique military tactic to protect itself against the threat of a Chinese invasion.
The Taiwanese "porcupine strategy" is carefully designed to warn off Xi Jinping's People's Liberation Army (PLA) from attempting to take over the sovereign state.
Top military expert Philip Ingram has revealed the key components behind the strategy - which would likely unfold in the event of an invasion.
Mr Ingram told The Sun's Battle Plans Exposed: "Taiwan's military posture is built around a core strategic principle known as the porcupine strategy or asymmetric defence."

The military intelligence maestro described how the strategy is not designed to defeat the PLA "in a conventional war, but to make an invasion so difficult, so costly and so bloody that Beijing is deterred from ever attempting it".
Taiwan's armed forces would bring in the Air Force, Navy and weaponry to turn the island nation into an impenetrable fortress.
Mr Ingram explained: "The Air Force is the first line of defence tasked with contesting air superiority over the Taiwan Strait, and against initial waves of missile strikes.
"The backbone of the fighter fleet is the recently upgraded F-16 Vipers, one of the most advanced fourth generation fleets in the world.
