Joe Biden Lifts the Lid on US Policy on Taiwan
Apparently, Mr Biden has stated in no uncertain terms that the policy of the US is to defend Taiwan from invasion even militarily if the situation demands it.It has always been known that the US stood on Taiwan's side, however, how far the US was prepared to go in case of a Chinese invasion was never made explicitly clear before. This policy of uncertainty was deliberate, and it was intended to discourage China from invading Taiwan while keeping Taiwan on its toes and preventing it from making rash decisions comfortable in the knowledge that the US would intervene if China made a move.
What is your opinion? I understand that Biden is concerned that the Russian invasion of Ukraine may encourage China to invade Taiwan, and that he wants to make absolutely sure that China doesn't dare; however, by coming clean, the US is now committed on the world stage. Not making good on its threats would be devastating politically.

China couldn't use military force or they would risk damaging it.
A government coup would be the only option.
From Wiki:
The economy of Taiwan is a highly developed free-market economy. It is the 8th largest in Asia and 18th-largest in the world by purchasing power parity, allowing Taiwan to be included in the advanced economies group by the International Monetary Fund. It is gauged in the high-income economies group by the World Bank. Taiwan is the most technologically advanced computer microchip maker in the world.
Look what happened to Hong Kong back in 1999. Even though Hong Kong was due to go back to China instead of staying in England's hand after their contract ended after about 100 years, Hong Kong is not prospering as much as it did under England's rule, if prospering any...

In my opinion, they'll wait until they're the world's leading military (besides economic, which they are already) power then simply move on Taiwan. By then, the west will be powerless to intervene. That may take 50 years but that is the Sun Tzu way.
China needed wiped off the the map last week. In ten yrs

I said Taiwan is effectively a member because although Taiwan is not a member, they still enjoy all the "benefits" of NATO membership including training, exchange of defence technologies and weapons, intelligence, etc., and now even a fully fledge military assistance pact. Taiwan is not a NATO member only on paper.
