And not to mention the American strategic bases in South East Asia. China will be pounded with 1000lb bombs from American bases in South Korea, Japan, Australia and possibly Taiwan. China doesnt have the guts to even attack Taiwan, u know why?? Cause in conventional warfare Taiwan is gonna kick China's ass with its tech. It has several squadrons of F-16s,F-4 Phamtoms and it maintains the largest squardron of AH_64 Longbow Apache after the United States. Taiwanese coast is full of anti aircraft and anti ship missiles like Patriot and Harpoon. Not to mention Taiwanese Navy equipped with the best guided missile destroyers in the world.China might nuke Taiwan but its gonna nuked from every American missile silos, Nuclear submarines and bombers that U.S has in its arsenal. China is a developing country that is struggling to control its population. Its defence expenditure is nil in comparision to U.S. Taiwan is a very promising nation and it can and will defend itself to every last man. China is nothing but a fake ass wanna be super power.
