I suspect if the USA goes to war with China over Taiwan it will lose.

The USA would lose in Taiwan, or would lose a greater war.

The first seems reasonable enough given the proximity to China and Chinese hypersonic missles. The second seems rather fuzzy.

Doubtful because an attack on Taiwan would also be an attack on Japanese and Korean trade.

The three gorges dam is also hangs a bit of a sword of Damocles for china. A few good hits is as good as a nuke.
