To be blunt, any country without a nuclear deterrent does not have secure borders. Any country relying on the deterrent from another country does not have a nuclear deterrent. Granted, treaty relations and civil behaviour between nations might be secure, but as we have seen it’s no guarantee against rogue states. I would expect that Taiwan, somehow, over the last 60 years found nukes or regrets they did not. I’m not sure a chemical deterrent is sufficient as it’s range and scale limited.
