If China were to decide to take Taiwan, It would be over before the Seventh Fleet could get underway. Our only assistance would be FBM's already on station

Nonsense. Imagine trying to organize several Operation Overlord sized assaults without anyone noticing. Far too many moving parts to hide, and far too much risk in doing so. It's not like they've got the PLA waiting down by the docks for someone to sound the 'invasion' alarm.

China doesn't have airborne infantry assault capabilities?
How many Chinese troops would it take to overrun Taiwan?

We ain't talking about South Korea here.

Are you sure our government would attempt to stop a Chinese assault on the Island?
