I'm picturing this like the changing of the sword-holder in Death's End, where the instant Trump is inaugurated China launches a full-scale invasion.

A blockade that affects the whole of Taiwan? Or does the blockade of individual ports or offshore islands also count?

@Jan53274 Excellent question- I’d say yes in both cases assuming the blockade is sustained and used as a political tool. If some ships surround a minor island for 20 minutes before moving on then no.

@jdilla Maybe you can define blockade in the description. For example as a certain percentage reduction of taiwans trade and a time frame. to prevent fringe cases like the intimidation of individual trade ships or a blockade of a lighthouse boathouse 😄
