>The US didn't "lose": it didn't suffer a military defeat forcing any kind of surrender, it simply gave up and went home. Giving up and going home is a loss where Taiwan is concerned as it was in Korea. The more astute observers understand this war is already over. More Chinese people are willing to die to maintain their country's integrity than Americans willing to do the same for an island on the otherside of the planet. The US will lose twice if it continues down this path. It will secondly earn the hate of the vast majority of Asian countries as an outsider bringing yet another uneccessary war to their neighborhoods over what the majority of Asians consider a settled topic.

What majority of Asian countries? South Korea and Japan, both nations similarly connected to the U.S. as Taiwan is? India, which has no love for China and is a Quad member? Vietnam, which is in the Quad Plus?

  South Korea and Japan are a tiny minority of the Asian population and most civilians in those countries (and the rest of Asia) don't care what Taiwan's status is.

    One could presume that in the event of any sort of aggressive war by a larger neighbor, smaller neighbors would be concerned. Much like how Russia's nearby Eastern European nations (e.g. Poland) are right now. Do you really think Vietnam, the Philippines, etc. wouldn't be alarmed by the outbreak of war? The disruption to shipping alone would be a massive issue. You also completely sidestepped the issue of India, whose current government dislikes that of China.

      India has its border dispute but beyond that is not interested in taking part in a Chinese civil conflict.

    Incorrect. Most Asians are anti-war and understand the biggest war monger by far is the USA. It really is that simple for ~4 billion people. An insignificant minority of the people on this planet feel Taiwan is their concern and are interested in involving themselves in a Chinese domestic dispute. Most of them are western European imperialists that have no legitimate business interfering in Asian affairs.
