China will not make a move until they can be sure that Taiwan will not take the war to them which of course they will. They may make threats with nukes but they know that if they hit us with one then it will be all over.

"China will not make a move until they can be sure that Taiwan will not take the war to them which of course they will"

I'm not sure if I read your statement correctly? Are you saying that Taiwan will make the first strike against China??

If that's the case I would have to disagree. Taiwan gets more sypathy while playing itself as the victim of a bully (which it is), but if it were to pick up and take the fight home that would provide too much of an excuse of the United States to back away from having to defend Taiwan and within a few years Taiwan will not be able to fend China off on its own.
