Numbers don’t mean anything today. Both the UK and US have a more powerful navy and Air Force. How exactly is China going to invade the US when they can’t even invade Taiwan? Not to mention all the guns Americans have. Americans have more guns and ammunition than citizens. Not only that, but historically China has lost to countries with populations smaller than it plenty of times like to Japan, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Mongols, etc. Wars aren’t even fought that way anymore also. You don’t see men going to battle like they did 200 years ago. It’s mostly air strikes, tanks, and other machines. Wars are won by supplies, money and espionage.

China doesnt want to invade Taiwan though. They want to slowly absorb it. It is too important to bomb into submission.

Yeah but my point was just cos china isnt bombing Taiwan doesnt mean it lacks the military strength to do so. It will probably play the long game and make sure it is definitely top dog first.

They under no circumstances want to join the PRC. Hong Kong was given to them. But Taiwan is its own separate country. China doing that would be the cause of a war as Taiwan is in alliance with the US and the West.

Remember nuclear powers dont confront each other directly.

Taiwan is one of the most important allies to the US and the West because of this. That's why the US has so many military vessels in the straits of Taiwan, and has shown force when Taiwan was threatened. So yes, the US will risk war.
