		I certainly hope not; we have known for 80 years that a war between two nuclear powers would be a tragedy unprecedented in human history.

		It used to be, though the previous Trump administration xenophobia set it on a policy of reducing the support for Taiwan. Now their xenophobic tendencies against China are stronger.

For how long though? The end of an independent Taiwan can't be just dismissed as a possible outcome at this point, no?

You must mean "Taiwan, territory of China"
