So, what would happen if China attacked Tawain?

I know we send a ton of weapons to Tawain. But I kinda doubt they could stand toe to toe with China for more than maybe the very very short term.

Do we have some kind of treaty or agreement to defend them?

We have assured their defense but there is no formal declaration

China would level the entire island with land based cruise missiles and possibly artillery

followed by paratroopers and seaborne invasion troops

It'd be over in minutes

China could level Taiwan but their amphibious capability is nil. But never gonna happen. China is about the long game and using economic and political leverage. They'll get most of what they want in the region without ever firing a shot.

What the frick is Tawain?

ETA: Downvotes? I know it's ticky tacky, but I mean c'mon. You shouldn't misspell a country if you're starting a thread on it.

It's never going to happen because our economies are too tied together, but if it did I think we'd be obligated to help Taiwan.

Why do you think the Chicoms haven't taken them over already?

I don't know about China, but if Turkey entered Cyprus from the rear, would Greece help?

We'd show them just how far their navy has to go to be competitive on the big stage.
