The “2025 250 shootout” is a term used to describe a hypothetical scenario in which the United States and China engage in a military conflict over Taiwan in the year 2025. The term is derived from a 2019 report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which warned that China could attempt to invade Taiwan by 2025 and that the United States would be likely to intervene militarily. The report estimated that such a conflict could result in the loss of up to 250 American lives per day.
The “2025 250 shootout” is a serious concern for both the United States and China. A conflict between the two countries over Taiwan would be likely to have a devastating impact on the global economy and could even lead to a nuclear war. The United States has warned that it will defend Taiwan if China invades, while China has vowed to “reunify” Taiwan with the mainland, by force if necessary.
