There is no “coming invasion of Taiwan” - not in the next 8 years at least.

Firstly - it is the “Republic of China” as the official name, not Taiwan. the RoC claims it is the true representative of China and claims all the territory of the Qing empire - including Mongolia, parts of Russia, Indian, Burma, Vietnam etc. as its territory.

Secondly - it is on an island, quite far from the mainland. The People’s republic of China has not got the capability to launch am amphibious attack - even if no one else got involved.

Thirdly - The RoC is heavily armed and has been preparing for a war with the PRC ever since 1949 when the KMT were defeated by the ChiComs and fled to Formose island. Even if no one got involved, the RoC could hand the PRC its ass back

Fourthly - the PRC wants the RoC to solidify its claim as the Middle Kingdom - no nukes here

Fifthly — the PRC prefers to wait and win economically - AS IT IS DOING - so that the RoC will join them. They are not going to have a war which WILL destroy their economy when they can win by patience.

We forced the RoC to give the mainland to the commies then stopped Chang and MacArthur from rescuing them, then along Came Jimmuh and forced them to give their council vote to the Commies. Oh well, no one ever said being our friend was easy.
