    I don’t think it would be chicken. Without a navy, the US can’t maintain supply lines to the Pacific theatre and they would need to open up a Western front and enlist Europe in the war. Japan and Australia would need to take over the Pacific front. This is why multipolarity and Chinese diplomacy are critical to ensuring that the USA doesn’t have a path to victory through these proxies.

      True, but I guess that all depends on how many supplies the US has stockpiled in Taiwan, and how self sustainable the island is.

      Plus I doubt starving the island into submission would make the Taiwanese people very happy with China, so it’s a giant big mess no matter how you approach it.
