The strategy described is that China takes Taiwan very quickly, and the US can’t stop them. Then it’s up to the US to choose how to retaliate.
They won’t be able to undo the invasion, and there’s no threat to the US directly. So there’s not much incentive for terrible retaliation.
The US might prefer to keep its promises to Taiwan, but at that point it would be choosing to let that go, or escalate into war with a nuclear power.
