      @eigenrobot How about, WTO has to admit Taiwan to full membership first? Yeah, that's backdoor UN membership, which US pushed but failed to obtain when UN switched Chinas 1971.

      I think to most Chinese that is equivalent to a declaration of war.

      Hmm, I think a direct invasion to Taiwan would have majority Chinese support. It would push Chinese people closer to their government which I am guessing is not the original intention. Chinese army is a lot stronger now, US is not guaranteed to win near Chinese shore.

      there was a good article on this a few years ago, reposted somewhere in this thread Taiwan might be able to win on its own US would push it over the top p easily Amphibious assaults are not a trivial undertaking

      Few years ago is night and day for China. 20 years ago US would easily steam roll China. Right now? Not so much. A proxy war at Taiwan gives China a lot of advantage since their land based missiles are in range.

      China has poured the vast majority of its military efforts into home defense and regional hegemony. It's their backyard. Chinese unit costs for missiles and lasers of almost comparable quality to U.S. armaments are about an order of magnitude lower. And just... why?

      Unfortunate as it may be, the Chinese Communists won a war for control of the mainland many decades ago. The rump government fled to Formosa. The PRC gradually consolidated power over the region, absorbing peripheral satellites and disputed territories. This is not our fight.

      It would be almost as if the Soviet Union attempted to fight the United States over Puerto Rico.

      China takes Taiwan and they have easy and open entry to the broader Pacific Think they'd stop then? Plenty of ethnic Chinese abroad that China sees as subjects, and they need Protecting

          You don't need to go too far to see China's expansionist tendencies. Look at Japan and South Korea and ask them how they would feel if the US and the world at large allowed the Chinese to annexe Taiwan!!

          Japan would immediately amend its constitution and start building an army and arsenal of nuclear weapons! And if anything, Japan militarising is probably more scary than the Chinese military or Chinese expansionism.https://twitter.com/seyrup/status/1250795062369251328?s=19 …

          They already have that through their bases in the South China Sea, which everyone knew the U.S. had zero chance of seriously challenging.
