If anything Trump has just helped prove that a quick decapitation strike on Taiwan can work. AND they just provided moral justification
If they bribe the right people, it's probably even easier due to the much shorter distance. We may not have a full blown armed reunification or blockade after all.

There is no radar - Chinese or otherwise, modern or vintage - that can live through a targeted US SEAD/DEAD campaign with hundreds of assets, like the one we saw. Nothing is surviving this.
I don't understand what we are even discussing.
Of course there will be trolls in social media that assert this raid means China radars are bad. Why are people getting triggered? If you have even a rudimentary understanding of how things work in real life, you know that this is not the case. And so do also the people that are actually involved in weapon procurement and acquisition around the world.
Grow a thicker skin and move on.

Everything can work - only end of history bootleakers said otherwise. We are human society, untouchable status of heads of states isn't a physical constant.
The problem is that Taiwan isn't exactly Venezuela, i.e. it's better to shut these ideas as a dangerous fantasy. At most it can be a plan A (attempt to win a jackpot to save lives and deny opportunities for intervention), but plan B is the key one.
TBF that's because US shorad capabilities are awful/basically nonexistent. Adding them would be a giant waste of money. Even if you add them doesn't mean they would work, Venezuela doesn't have the best tech.
With the abundance of MANPADs, I would argue that for helicopters to be survivable on the frontline even with air superiority, DIRCM should be a bare minimum these days. TW might not have good air defense but they do have alot of MANPADs that could pop out of nowhere. EW and other more expensive options could be included for Marines and SpecOps only.
Initial reports of ROC F-16 pilot ejecting from his plane due to as of yet unknown reasons. They still havent found the pilot.
