And that's Taiwan fighting by itself. I can't imagine it gets any better if Vietnam or Japan decide to get directly involved before the Americans can intervene.

Year Date Event The Jiajing Emperor announces his intention to seclude himself for several 1540 September years to pursue immortality; a court official says this is nonsense and gets tortured to death [239]
Title taken from the source. Don't quote me on it
Now it's more than likely that the points brought up here are a complete crock of s---; but I found the contemporary view of China during the Warlord Era (just after the fall of the the Qing, but before the invasion of Japan and the rise of the CCP) by an outsider to be quite interesting, even if it is horribly biased. Ideally, it'd be nice to read about China from a Chinese perspective; but they burnt them all because Mao said "History Bad". If any of you want, the book in it's entirety <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003467712&view=1up&seq=1">can be found here</a>.

USA: The country that only had a few years of peace in its entire history
Russia: The country that has been the brunt of genocide and survived because they were more violent than the ones trying to kill them.
China: The country that has lost every war and conflict it has ever fought in including its own civil wars and has not changed its tactics for over two millennia.

I think the biggest thing people underestimate is how much of a logistical nightmare that 8 hour travel time would make an invasion, 8 hours for the taiwanese to see an invasion fleet coming, 8 hours to keep taiwanese anti ship missiles torpedos and bombs from turning the transports into coffins.

The chinese airfoce having to operate continuously against competent opposition for so long and over such a distance is going to be going through planes and pilots at a obscene rate by the end of it.
