“Remember they are a nuclear power. Is LA worth Taiwan?”
There are people on FR who do not believe any country would use their nukes. I believe any country that has nukes, when faced with losing a war on their own soil, will use them.
Taiwan is viewed as part of China.
Starting with Nixon we have been playing a rather dangerous game.
PRC may not want to use nukes, but they will if pressed.
And I would bet that their nukes are being maintained.
