If it happened it would be sudden, like Japan or South Korea having built their own, sending some to their neighbor. It still seems unlikely to me, but it isn't impossible. If China found out before they were installed it would likely instigate conflict. If they did not, I have no idea what would happen. That is an unstoppable force meets immovable object sort of situation.

Let's be honest. No one would touch them, just like N Korea or Russia,once you got the bombs, you're good.

		Impossible. There is no way China will allow that- it would lead to a Cuba situation. I can't see how this wouldn't favor Taiwan? All the US republicans would start screaming about WW3 etc, it would put major pressure on China. I'd say it would be ideal for Taiwan. The discussion now seems to be, "How do we get the chips out of Taiwan so we can let it fall to authoritarianism with the least political fall out possible".
