The bloodbath part is a joke right? China has in excess of 1000 aircraft capable of attack ground targets, thats not counting missiles, they're fully capable of wrecking Taiwans defensive abilities overnight.China, even as it's military capabilities grow, probably won't attack Taiwan. Partly because Taiwan may rejoin the mainland by it's own choice in the next 50 years, and partly because they know that Taiwan has planned for a Chinese invasion since the end of their civil war. Any invasion would be a bloodbath.
There was too much distance between Japan and US as well?There is to much distance between America and China for a war to develop...
You're forgetting about all the nations that would come and aid Taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. US, France, Britain, Japan, and South Korea to name a few. Pretty soon it would turn into WW3 with nato and western aligned nations backing taiwan and most likely North Korea, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Iran, Syria, and Pakistan backing China. Then maybe Russia would side with nato and the west. It would be a long, bloody war but most likely the west would win.
.looking at google earth, i came to this opinion. if it were a nuclear exchange. i believe the USA would win,
.
I don't agree, in the event of a nuclear exchange no one would win.
Someone once said, "I was asked if WW3 would involve nuclear weapons, I replied if it did, WW4 would be fought with clubs."
