You said everyone's happy. Everyone includes the Taiwanese people or do they not count? Try convincing the Taiwanese people they shld be happy to be sold out and stabbed in the back for the sake of everyone else.

So America gets to make a mistake and overinvest. And now America faces a perceived threat of ww3. So America decides to make a deal to stab Taiwan in the back and sell them off to China, the perceived enemy in the first place. Now "everyone" is happy? Who's getting punished for who's mistake here? Make that logic make sense.

I don't have to convince them and I don't wish to be held hostage over a tiny island that soon won't matter.
