The Chinese trade with Europe/the US might be more important for the Chinese than their trade with Russia is.

I have pointed out a couple of times that I have no doubt China is watching this closely so I have been very happy with the Wests response and unity to date, I doubt the Chinese economy could survive the fallout of an attack on Taiwan.

I must admit I did wonder if the Chinese would attack Taiwan, it would split the Western Allies, even worse would be if North Korea attacked South Korea at the same time.

North Korea is probably a bigger danger now than what China is.

I figured it would get a response
To be fair they wouldn't be under Japanese control just stationed on Japanese soil.

It is realistic to assume it has been nukes in Japan for a very long time. These nukes have been onboard US ships stationed in Japan.
