    What is the root of the situation Taiwan faced now, is it not because a bunch of civil wars losers fled to it, occupied it and allied themselves with US against China, so what China could have even done to allow for any sorts of independence without any guarantee that they are not tightly wound to US interests. You're talking like Taiwan is without blame here.

    As for containing China, it's a PART of not the entire effort, any act of war against it will trigger response from US and allies and since China not gonna flatten it, it will act as a nuisance, holding out for reinforcements and deterring China deployments near it.
