    It’s likely that war between China and the US would also include Japan which changes some of the math but Mainland China likely has substantial military assets unknown to the US. Taiwan’s main hope is Chinese incompetence or exaggerated effectiveness of their weapons which isn’t much to go on.

    What’s more likely is that China bribes Trump and Hegseth to stay out of any conflict.

      It is highly likely that the war games included US occupied territories like Korea and Japan.

      Again, if China is gonna bribe the US to stay away from Taiwan, then they have no need to attack Taiwan. I’ll say it till you people hear: attacking Taiwan, absent a threat of US military installation, is a net negative for China and China knows it
