You're 100% right. Depression! I should have said depression!

Maybe. They could still infiltrate Special Forces teams (I'm sure they have boat teams trained for this very thing), hit Taipei with DF-17s, mine the outside boundaries of the strait, parachute guys in and take the harbors.

My point is more that the US isn't in a position to do anything right now, than that China is going to take Taiwan.
