What surprises me about the whole thing is that no one is talking about nukes. It is almost guaranteed that Taiwan has nukes, yet I have not heard anyone on either side acknowledge it. It's painfully obvious that the reason China hasn't invaded yet is because they know the US has given Taiwan some sort of nuclear tipped missiles if not nuclear capable subs.

There's more to it than that, check out this article by Peter Van Buren: China Will Not Invade Taiwan.

If you have some more time, Scott Horton did a great interview with Van Buren on this topic: 11/19/21 Peter Van Buren on Why China’s Not Invading Taiwan and How Absurd the Russiagate Story Was From the Beginning
