Could China use fifth columns and warehouses of dual-use goods to support an invasion?
Short answerWarehouse demand and the visibility of goods left unused would restrict the opportunity, while coordination and counterintelligence would complicate fifth-column support.
NotesTaiwan's active trading economy limits how long unusual inventories can sit unnoticed in scarce warehouse space. Any fifth-column network would also operate in an intelligence contest that runs both ways, making reliable coordination and secrecy difficult.
