China could easily stop a US invasion of Cuba merely by putting several garrisons of soldiers in Cuba. They probably could not stop an 'all in invasion' - of course - but that's not the point. The point would be to raise the cost significantly i.e. 'invading Cuba would mean war with China'. There are a lot of things the US could to do raise the cost of the invasion of Taiwan, but it's hard. Every move comes with a counter move. The US would have to coordinate with everyone else on this. They're trying to do that but it's hard.
