no ones invading china, they're a nuclear power and too big. you try to contain countries like that. as long as they arent able to expand around the pacific then we're fine.

theres not really another option to land on a contested beach except for what i described. the USMC will be doing a lot of amphib landings in the pacific on remote islands, to reenforce special forces teams already there with anti ship missiles/HIMARs etc.

if you truly must land on a beach that you know has enemy then you would drive amphibious vehicles and just expect to take a bunch of losses like on dday. its doable but it sucks.

chinas gonna fail miserably if they attempt an amphib invasion of taiwan. they'll be dealing with hundreds/thousands of unmanned suicide boats and drones like we've seen ukraine use against russia along with thousands of anti ship missiles.
