Clearly, if the ChiComs did launch such an attack, the U.S. military response would be overwhelming ... "

The first movement from China will be a attack on Taiwan, a lame response from the USA will give them the green light to do whatever they want.

An attack on Taiwan is self-defeating for China.

Both nations are involved in business and commerce. They could come to a negotiated agreement that benefits both parties.

This invasion talk is sabre-rattling by a military that is grossly over-manned with nothing much to do.
