  1. Japan and Táiwān are both threshold nuclear powers, able to design and gather the material for a nuclear warhead within a year or two. "No first use" China would also be inviting its total destruction if it nukes either of them especially before a proven test detonation.

  2. The loss of Táiwān will bleed over though, first with the Senkaku/Diàoyú, then perhaps a "liberation" of the Ryukyu from Japan, on top of punitive strikes against the Home Islands.

  3. More like 500k repatriated back to Japan, those staying behind numbering like 1~2k. It's just not convenient to think how so many Taiwanese look fondly at Japan, who brought infrastructure and rural development to the island, especially after the "White Terror" of the invasive gangster KMT.

  4. Táiwān would do better with masses of cheap weapons and training on improvising more for guerilla warfare. If it takes the constantly-warring US decades to withdraw from an insurrection, there's no way the much less practiced PRC will last that long especially after entire neighborhoods of families lose their only son on deployment.
