Agreed, there would be much left of Taiwan after the fight anyway.
Yeah, even if China manages to win it, what would they win but something resembling the surface of the moon.
would =would NOT
A lot of Taiwanese think that China wouldn't want to destroy so much equipment and goods etc. on Taiwan.
They are crazy. China doesn't care a flip about that. They'd neutron bomb the place, destroy all life and scoop up the equipment in a flash.
Cedrtainly China cares SOME about money. Greed is alive and well there.
But compared to pride--greed is a very poor second.
