As many as 20 aircraft from China either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait or breached the island country’s air defense identification zone.

    China doesn’t even have a blue water navy.

    An invasion of mainland China would be extremely difficult and costly, but they have no where near the force projection beyond their coast that the US navy does.

    A war with China wouldn’t be to take Chinese territory, at least not from a US perspective. It would be to defend Taiwan, which the US would have no problem doing.
