Opening moves by the CHICOMs that will, based on the US response, end with the conquest of Nationalist China.
I fully expect Taiwan to voluntarily re-unite with China one day. Probably in my lifetime. I bet the mainlanders will even welcome them back with open arms.
Basically, Taiwan will figure out we’re in hock to the Chinese and won’t have the fighting strength, economic power, nor political will to fight a protracted war and decide to align with the bigger dog. They might enjoy some distinctive autonomy for awhile, but eventually they’ll be one state for all intents.
