Its about their numbers of missiles. They can overflood every defence they want.
If they really go seriously after Taiwan and not caring for own losses, i see not that the US can anything do about that. Its not about gaining economic sites. Its about state reason. The renegade must be forced under the yoke or die.

No doubt that you/they could be right.
There's one factor no-one has put into the equation.
As you mentioned "If they really go seriously after Taiwan and not caring for own losses"
And how about US military's effort or will to defend Taiwan, how high is it ?
Therefore the use of nuke, SHALL not be removed from the equation.
I so truly hope I'm totally wrong.
