“The Republic of China (Taiwan) denies having any weapons of mass destruction. There is no evidence of Taiwan possessing any chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, although it has pursued nuclear weapons in the past.”
If Taiwan has nukes and the spine to use them, more power to them.
Even then they would still be up against a bigger foe, which is relatively insensitive to casualties.
As I said before, if the PRC marshalls a credible threat, then makes an offer, Taiwan might accept it.
“Even then they would still be up against a bigger foe, which is relatively insensitive to casualties.”
They’d be very sensitive to losing the Three Gorges Dam.

There is a tiny nation where the Middle East abutts Africa which claimed to have no nukes for decades. Even though we knew they did, and in that case we hadn’t (intentionally ) provided them with better designs.
If the mainland does a nuclear tango on the coast, what will India do at that time?
And with that going on, what would China’s neighbors to the north do?
In Sumary:
China hasn’t behaved in such away as to have appreciative neighbors.
China has multiple borders. There is no “one at a time” in war.
If a nation with that many people combined with that record of brutality is invading, it is a given that nuclear arsenals will be deployed. Only people across the sea can think stupid thought such as “these people who dismember each other to sell body parts won’t exterminate me and my family.”
