The Pentagon has advised Congress that it lacks the stocks of long-range anti-ship missiles that would be needed to destroy Chinese warships in the event that China invades Taiwan. Its warning comes as a new book from US foreign policy research institute Pacific Forum concludes that the strategic implications of Taiwan falling into Beijing’s hands have not been properly evaluated in Washington, and that the impact on the US’s credibility around the world would be "devastating" if China seized Taiwan, with or without US military intervention.
