>because at one point the reaction to China invading Taiwan would obviously have been a nuclear exchange. There is no way anyone would nuke China if/when they invade Taiwan the same way nobody nuked Russia when they invaded Ukraine. And Russia is a lot less relevant globally than China. It'll be another conventional war like the current Russo-Ukrainian one where the west will sanction China and support Taiwan.
