   I was reading/watching a discussion on a military site mostly devoted to tech   
   development and since a lot of our tech development is all about China and   
   their intent to retake Taiwan they get pulled together.   
      
   So the vast strategy was almost all justified and predicated on deterrence of   
   China.  Since successful deterrence is largely based upon the premise that the   
   aggressor will ultimately fail...the question quickly turns from the tech to   
   what it will take to    
   win the war.   The conclusion was that if China succeeds in their initial   
   invasion of Taiwan and establishes at least partial occupation (and it's hard   
   to see why they might fail) what allied forces would be available and/or   
   required to come to their    
   rescue.   
      
   Conclusion...the combined reserves of the US, South Korea, the Philippines,   
   and Japan might have a chance to at least match China's numbers.  Now how   
   you're going to get them on Taiwan and provide the necessary logistics all   
   within 100 miles of a Chinese    
   coast packed with missiles while not trying to escalate this debacle by   
   attacking China directly (as we refuse to do in Ukraine) makes the entire   
   prospect an insane proposition.     
      
   So we need an alternative solution and being solutions oriented I'm going to   
   offer an idea. I call it Israel 2.0.  Jews needed a new home post WWII.    
   Taiwan chinese who don't want to lose their freedom under a repressive   
   communist takeover need a new    
   home as well.   
      
   I suggest Australia.  They have the space.  They need an injection of   
   intelligent and entrepreneurial  minded people.   And they're probably the   
   closest option.    And it's largely populated by "settlers" which the left has   
   already determined have no    
   real right to the lands they're born in...so what's wrong with adding another   
   20M to the meager 25M currently there?   
   I see it as their duty to the planet and take one for the team.
