United States military forces plan to counter China's expanding A2/AD capabilities during a potential Taiwan conflict by systematically dismantling Beijing's sophisticated sensor and missile networks. This coordinated operational approach aims to degrade Chinese targeting systems rather than merely intercepting individual missile strikes, thereby securing critical maritime access within the contested theater.
Beijing's defensive umbrella relies on long-range precision munitions like the DF-21D and DF-26 ballistic missiles, alongside overlapping HQ-9 and S-400 surface-to-air systems stationed on militarised South China Sea islands. To neutralise these threats, American planners intend to deploy a joint multi-domain strategy utilising F-35, B-2, and B-21 stealth aircraft alongside Virginia-class submarines firing Tomahawk cruise missiles. This effort could be bolstered by Japan, which may leverage its 2015 security laws to intervene militarily alongside its Western ally. Ultimately, Western military planners anticipate a prolonged war of attrition focused on gradually eroding Chinese command-and-control infrastructure rather than achieving a rapid, decisive victory.
