(delete if not allowed) Some things I have noticed about Taiwan during these Han Kuang exercises is they really don’t know how a war will go down and don’t care about their revisits what will be highly important if war happens. Here are some things I have noticed.
1. They think China will try to capture ports as they have done training defending it 3 times including mining important infrastructure.
2. They seem to think China will try to take over an airforce base using airborne troops including one the most important ones in Taiwan.
3. they think China will use the river to get to Taipei so set up huge set up C4 in the river what weren’t even set up properly.
4. they have no idea how to conceal anything including HIMARS, Abrams and radars and their own AD systems.
5. they think any war will be like the Cold War still using ww2/cold war style defense including hedgehogs, razor wire, etc.
6. Their troop training hasn’t been the best including standing up straight to fire and using the charging lever after every shot, and putting the muzzle in a bush and firing a shot every 2 seconds.
7. Using a public basketball court to teach things to revisits including machine guns, how to work a mortar and clearing a wall what they didn’t learn, was more so a checking off boxes
8. Low motivation from revisits including soldiers not paying attention and slouching and visibly seeming bored.

Because Han Kuang series exercise is more of a PR op instead of a proper force capability exercise.

What significant changes between now and 2027. What pieces that China dont have now vs that they have in 2027?

Based purely on the numbers, my guess is two things in particular which might roughly hit parity around that year. 5th gen fighter counts and deployed nuclear weapon counts (not stockpiles).

I wonder if this is an information trap set by Taiwan to deliberately lure the enemy and show weakness. You should know that Taiwan has been guided and trained by the US military all year round, and it is unlikely that the army is really a show. If the US cognitive warfare is to lure China to attack Taiwan in 2027, then pretending that the Taiwanese army is a mess is a good way. We must consider that after this point in time, the comparison of US and Chinese military power will usher in a death cross, with US fighters and warships quickly retired and China's cutting-edge equipment of various branches of the military being put into service on a large scale. Starting a war in 2027 can obviously quickly and effectively destroy China's global manufacturing chain, allowing manufacturing to quickly flee to Vietnam and India, completely preventing China's high-tech from entering the Western camp market, and making the Chinese economy, which is on the verge of a downward trend, even worse. I think 2035 is the best time to start a war.

If its not fooling us then it definitely isn't fooling PLA leadership

People forget how the Hong Kong deal happened. Deng Xiaoping supposedly threatened Thatcher with an outright invasion if the UK did not concede.

Story goes the 'invasion' was simply Deng suggesting to Thatcher they would withdraw border control so as to let loose hundreds of thousands of Chinese southwards, overwhelming the city. No military mobilisation would be necessary at all.

HK (and the Brits by extension) at the time still had PTSD from the Vietnamese boat people crisis in the 1970s when up to 70,000 Vietnamese refugees flooded HK at its worst point during that crisis.

Needless to say Thatcher received the message promptly, her ponderance of which led to her (in)famous fall down the steps of the People's Great Hall.
