  1.  @tubage07  Pre-democracy Taiwan had a secret nuclear program going, but the CIA found out and the US told the KMT to knock it off because it'd be far too provocative especially since the US needed the PRC as a counterbalance against the Soviets at the time. But Taiwan is still on the nuclear threshold and would likely be able to deliver a working warhead within a year. This is part of the reason the Mainland must achieve total victory so swiftly at all costs.

  2. There's also the option of using their warheads as a nuclear mine. I'd say this is more likely as at least they get to decide which outpost or beachhead becomes unusable instead of compelling Beijing to decide a whole city center for them.

  3. Trusting self-discipline only goes so far, sadly limiting access to weapons is more consistent because otherwise the chances increase that one of the wielders is or becomes willing to self-destruct in the process of combating their enemy.
