The question is WHETHER they can seize Taiwan, and the answer is an obvious "no."

at this moment, you would be right, but do you think we could stop them if they tried anyway?

The Taiwanese could stop them by themselves pretty well, without us lifting a finger, IMHO.

Right now, they don't even have the capability to get an invasion force across the Taiwan Strait. The most they could really do is trade bombs..

The further question, given how much we import from them, is would we want to?
