Maybe eventually

I would really worry about drones
They have redefined modern warfare.

Ukraine has shown what drones can do
They wiped out one third of Russias Black Sea fleet and chased away the rest.

Add in AI technology and drones do not need operators and can operate as a coordinated swarm meeting an invasion

I agree that drones are an exciting new development

But there are new anti drone countermeasures also

No one knows how all that will play out

It’s an all new ballgame and all Navies are vulnerable

The advantage will shift back and forth as both sides struggle to gain the upper hand

Russia invading Ukraine is a great example.
On paper, Russian would win in a matter of weeks. Ukraine was able to drive them back
A better example is the Russian Navy against no Navy for Ukraine. Using air and sea drones, Ukraine was able to destroy a third of the Russian Black Sea fleet and chase away the rest.

Point is, in spite of threats, China knows better than to invade Taiwan

Not really a good example, the Russian Navy is notoriously dysfunctional.
