TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- A retired Japanese general claims that as part of its plan to invade Taiwan in 2025, it will first set up a no-fly zone, followed by a battle with its naval and air forces and a blockade, to bring it to the negotiating table.

After retired Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Lt. Gen. Kunio Orita (織田邦男) caused a stir last month when he claimed that China plans to annex Taiwan in 2025, he told Stars and Stripes the communist country will first set up a no-fly zone over Taiwan, before provoking a fight with the Taiwanese military and setting up a blockade to force Taiwan to negotiate. Orita said that after Taiwan has capitulated, Beijing will then set its sights on disputed islands in the East China Sea and ultimately the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa by 2045.
