I live in very rural Hawaii. I’m darned sure that as long as the USA still had Pearl harbor and the airbases they could care less what the rest of Hawaii did.
There is only 200,000 people on my island which is the size of Connecticut.
My last home in WA state, King county had more than 10 times that population. there I lived in a part of the county 33 miles East of Seattle.
there we had over 950 people per sq mile, here we have less than 50.
The USA would not miss Hawaii other than its military value.
Full disclosure;
I’m proud to be an American citizen and disabled Veteran,
but on the grand scheme of things we are just a fly speck.
Maybe you’re right, 100% of Hawaii is in America, there is no possible scenario where everything except the military bases would be allowed to leave the USA and form an independent country who takes economic and military support from another country, same goes for Alaska or any of the other 48 contiguous states.
Overall Taiwan is a miniscule part of greater China, the Chinese view 100% of Taiwan as part of greater China, when they have equal military power as the USA, they will take back Taiwan, probably with little to no resistance from the USA, the people of Taiwan would probably fight back.
