At this point I'm not sure what will happen when China eventually attacks Taiwan. It is a vital resource for the USA in terms of their sheer semiconductor industrial output. It doesn't really seem that the USA would get involved in such a fight though, or make more than a token effort. I think Taiwan missed their chance in the 80s to become a nuclear power when China was busy with other stuff, now it's too late and they are all but doomed to eventual takeover by China.
