of course it is, Taiwan is an example of what China could have been and the CCP hates it, it also hates it because they are the remnants of the nationalist forces of China, controles an important trade link and because the CCP failed like 3 times to invade the nation. Taiwan today is a democracy, whatever their dictatorship was before is long gone and the same is true for places like South Korea so what's the issue?

those groups are tiny and insignificant, most of them are ether locked up in camps or so spread around the mainland that they can't form any kind of coherent force, they would not even be able to leave for Taiwan to fight for them, they don't matter at all.

and lose everything without a fight? that would have been very stupid, Taiwan played it's cards right but it's at the mercy of other nations, it has defended itself against China multiple times before the USA got involved, yet at the same time the USA attempting to open up the country of China is what lead to the current situation. even worse if they declared independence (which the majority of the people of Taiwan want) then that would be a trigger for China to invade them even sooner and less of reason for the USA to stick around since they want Taiwan as an example of a different model for China.

based on what?

Japan and EU can fund very strong armies but what would be the use for them? you can't exactly expand, you need massive legal change which not everyone wants and it would basically only be a benefit to the USA to cut costs for it's military spending, so what's the point? though I can guarantee you if say the EU became a full federation then that economic power would most certainly be invested more in military spending since the area of defence and need for legitimacy would be much higher than current individual nations.

@piotrd.4850 don't think that's accurate, they seem more than willing to fight but realistic in how such a fight would go, they would basically just be staling for time till the americans would come and save them, they should however still have some kind of draft just so people know how to use weapons and defend themselves in case the chinese try and invade again.

@dekaredfire it really is but money talks as they say.
