Taiwan is a democratically run independent country , Taiwan is the first island , in the allies “island chain strategy “ ,

China would have to move more than 100k troops over the 180k Taiwan strait , they would face aerial bombardment, and casualties would be large .

They could blockade the China sea , causing huge economic problems for China .

But hey. They’d just steamroll them cause you said .

Nobody just gets steam rolled in war these days , unless your Tibet .
