So how far would USA go in the defence of Taiwan, Australia ?...No one of us know. I think Skybird is more correct in his statement ^ than I am.

The thing that Skybird ignores, probably deliberately, is that to get at either of those countries, especially Australia, China would have to attack American military units and that changes the whole ball game. They are not just going to appear at the outskirts of Canberra and demand that we stand down. We'll know they're coming and we won't need nuclear weapons to completely destroy any invasion force that they put together long before they touch Australian soil.

So let me ask you Skybirds question back. Do you think the ChiComs having had their entire expeditionary force sent to the bottom of the Coral sea will also be willing to loose millions of their citizens, their cities and industrial centers to retaliate against us for putting them there?
