"If America's missile and munitions are depleted while arming Ukraine, what exactly is there to stop China from crossing the straight and taking Taiwan?"

That only works if we can get the electronics (read that: computer chips) and have the manufacturing capability in-country to do so.

Also only works if we don't have supply issues with our military. I've no idea if we do/don't.

My own observation, based on what I can read/find online, infer from what I've read, and anecdotal data is that if China invades Taiwan anytime before the 2024 election, we're likely hard-pressed to repel an invasion and would run short on munitions ourselves.
