Would China invade Taiwan if the US invades Iran? [View all]
Assuming that that US invades Iran with significant numbers >100,000 soldiers, would China take the opportunity to invade Taiwan? In my opinion, there would be no better time. The US would be busy with a complex middle east war and Trump is not really committed to protecting Taiwan. He's even refused to comment on it when asked twice recently:
