This is not true. If the US stepped in to defend Taiwan, militarily, the US nuclear arsenal would be enough.

If you’re not aware, China also has nukes. And they can also hit every square inch of the United States.

There is something call MAD, that keeps the United States scared of launching nukes against China.

Nuclear weapons will never, ever be used by any nation for any noire to confrontation in protection of a 3rd party.

Carrier strike groups, on the other hand, are used and will be used.

All China would need to do is ban exports of Chinese goods to the US in retaliation and the US would be completely crippled and unable to function as a country within 3 months. There is literally no scenario where the US would ever nuke China.

Are Chinese imports to the US really that critical?

And how would China fare without all those US dollars?
