They may not like it but by the time they get in a position to be able to do anything about it the fighting will be over. The only way to avoid this is if Taiwan makes its declaration but has given the US enough advance warning to move the carriers and Marines into position. An aggressive move that any American government guided by big business rather than convictions will NEVER do. If we were that committed to their independance the Marines wouldn't be on Okinawa but rather on bases on Taiwan itself.
