Thanks for the reply, Carl. I seem to recall that before WWII, the United States was Japan's largest trading partner (one of the reasons that oil and scrap steel embargos bit so hard).

And Taiwan does have a modern airforce, but it is hard to generate combat sorties if SRBMs with submunition warheads are raining down on your airfields.

I hope we never find out, and I also hope that economic integration across the Strait convinces pragmatists on either side that accommodation is preferable to any alternatives.
