After reviewing the results of two dozen war games, a Washington think tank concluded that repelling an invasion would be a costly victory for the United States and its allies.

According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), war games suggest that Chinese forces would be unable to occupy Taipei.

.

CSIS's report suggests that the 110-mile wide Taiwan Strait, which separates China from Taiwan, would be the site of a deadly air and maritime battle.

The series of war games was modeled after the most likely scenario for a Chinese attack on Taiwan.

The invasion always starts the same way: an opening bombardment destroys most of Taiwan's Navy and Air Force in the first hours of hostilities, CSIS report, via 'Newsweek'.

The war games showed that Chinese forces were unable to capture working ports or airfields, which would restrict their ability to sustain an invasion.

CSIS also found that the losses on all sides of the conflict would be staggering, and that damage to Taiwan's economy and infrastructure would be catastrophic.

Naval losses were greater than anything experienced since World War II, CSIS report, via 'Newsweek'.
