China will never even bother invading Taiwan, what do they gain? They have a small chance of success, and even if they do, the infrastructure will be destroyed and they'll probably have to get through the US to do it. When dealing with the Chinese, just ask, what is profitable? The Chicom military just uses Taiwan as an excuse to puff up their own budget, they won't even have the capability to attempt a landing for a decade or so, if then.

How important might it be to have a submarine base with direct access to deep water? How important might it be to occupy land within Japan's unwritten sphere of influence? I know this type of thinking is quite foreign for those of us in the Post 1945 generations. But that doesn't mean such thinking does not exist.
