RE: It’s naive to think Taiwan isn’t also nuclear.
There are two places where people say they have nukes but I have never seen proof of this — Israel and Taiwan.
I know that Taiwan has a formidable military and all able bodied males are required to go to military training every year, But When did Israel and Taiwan ever TEST a nuclear bomb or in the case of Taiwan, even test an offensive ballistic missile?
If you were the Commie dictator would you be willing to test the assumption that Taiwan isn't nuclear?
Taiwan doesn't need long range ballistic missiles. An invading fleet is well within range, as are bases launching any offensive strike.
