Taiwan's highest-value naval targets

What naval losses would matter most in a Chinese attack on Taiwan?

Taiwan should prioritize the amphibious ships carrying troops, because destroying the lift can stop an invasion even if distant combatants survive.

Chinese ships should not be expected to reproduce Russian failures simply because the two forces share some technology and corruption risks. Chinese performance depends on how well systems are maintained and operated, as well as the scale of Taiwanese firepower. For Taiwan, the most decisive targets are the amphibious ships carrying marines and soldiers across the strait. Cruisers can strike from offshore, but destroying the lift can prevent the invasion force from reaching the island at all.
