I figured out a strategy by which standard carrier groups with minor  
modifications could hold out against hypersonic missiles from the  
Chinese mainland while dominating the strait of Taiwan. If any of the  
Navy brass figure it out also, then we should be fine, so long as our  
objectives were sufficiently limited (to defending Taiwan from troop  
carriers).

But we absolutely must fulfill our commitment to Taiwan and FUCK  
trying to appease China. Remember everybody thought Hitler would be  
satisfied with Poland. Also try to imagine yourself to be an Asian for  
minute:

If we do not honor our treaty with Taiwan, what makes you think China  
will harbor any delusion that we would honor our financial debt to  
them? If we do not honor our treaty with Taiwan, China would lose all  
respect for us. And they would certainly not stop at Taiwan. Not when  
when South Korea, Japan, Hawaii, and California are on the menu.
