Defending Taiwan is - unfortunately - a suicide mission.

I'd rather not engage a hot war with China over it.

We're going to have enough on our plate keeping China out of the Caribbean and our half of the Pacific.

Buckle up.

The idea I think was that China would also rather not engage in a hot war with the US over it, and therefore would be content with the status quo (or at least content to wait for a favorable political climate in the US...).
