What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They'll start the next world war. There isn't a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their "precision strikes" or suicidal their lunatics are.

For the US, at least, I don't think the people care enough about Taiwan to support going to war.

I see what you're saying, but it is really easy to drum up support, especially with how effective the media has become at manipulating public opinion. I've seen the US go to war over much less in my life.
