I think the free world owes Taiwan that degree of protection of their sovereignty. It wouldn’t likely result in war - China wouldn’t risk that, since it is as much a burden to them as it would be to the US. This is just a big game of chicken, and on one side is the US and all its allies (NATO) after all. The US would gain a foothold in the region politically and militarily, and can rest assured that the capacity for semiconductor manufacturing, a specialized capability, doesn’t fall into the hands of mainland China.
