Had always hoped Hong Kong and Taiwan would join a democratic China. The appeal for a democracy to willing join an autocracy is limited.

There is no advantage in WW3, just death.

> Fox News senior strategic analyst retired Gen. Jack Keane stated, “China does have a military advantage.” They outnumber the United States in terms of ships, aircraft, and both offensive and defensive missiles.

Well yes. Until relatively recently, quantity over quality was their mantra just like it was with the USSR.

> This year, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) ran a war game that simulated what would happen if the People’s Republic of China launched an amphibious attack on Taiwan. It found that the United States would probably run out of long-range precision-guided missiles within a week.

No idea what this particular bit of trivia is supposed to portend, honestly. "Long-range precision-guided missiles" aren't exactly the keystone to the defense of a small island nation. They'd mostly be useful for striking within mainland China, which we probably wouldn't do much of.

China has a geographic advantage as it relates to the country of Taiwan. The U.S. Navy negates that advantage.
