Since Japan is widely expected to enter into such a conflict, there’s strong speculation that any attack on Taiwan would be preceded by a first strike against Japan and US forces there.
Highly unlikely. Neither the US or Japan are guaranteed to act in Taiwan’s favour. Especially in a borderline situation. If the CCP has strategy (and it usually does), it will push limits and borderline situations.
