What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They'll start the next world war. There isn't a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their "precision strikes" or suicidal their lunatics are.

They don't need to invade Taiwan. Taiwan will naturally gravitate towards the winning horse as we are seeing with many other countries around the world. Obviously for countries like Taiwan and South Korea this will be harder as they are essentially just gigantic US army bases, but it will happen.

If a war does occur over Taiwan you can bet that it will be instigated by the US.
