“In my judgment, we cannot set a timeline for an attack at six months or six years. My goal is to be ready at all times. To be frank, China is capable of attacking Taiwan. Whether or not it is able to occupy Taiwan afterward, I won't speculate. China can launch an attack, but its considerations will have to go beyond winning the first fight... [Taiwan capability of withstanding a Chinese attack] It's not about ability. It's about willpower. I always tell my peers to stop asking how many days we need to hold out. The question is how many days does [China] want to fight? We'll keep them company for as many days as they want to fight.”
