For the foreseeable future, China would not do anything to disrupt the
status quo across the Taiwan strait because they're fully aware of the
enormity, severity and potential risk of massive economic, political,
social, regional of in China.

Thank you for your concerns, Currently Taiwan is a non issue between
the PRC and the ROC. There is no Taiwan Independence movement nor any
possibility of Taiwan rattling sabers over anything. The US has been
trying to sell more advanced arms to Taiwan for years. Taiwan does
need to replace her ageing military equipment but is in no hurry to do
so. Although permission to sell had been approved by Congress many
times Taiwan is not biting. Taiwan is quite happy to receive all the
technical details of your macho toys though. You know that and can
never appraise them of or try to sell Taiwan your latest and best
stuff. No F-22s for example nor the latest Aegis systems. Taiwan
balks at buying expensive systems that are past their best-by-date.
The chances are when they do need to replace time expired equipment it
will be a token purchase to sop your concerns not a serious effort to
put up a fighting force. You don't have leverage. You cannot use
Taiwan as a proxy for your schemes.

As for threatening China with all sorts of dire consequences if she
does not toe your "bastion of democracy" line what else is new that
you had not already threatened since 1949 up till today. When you
fire blanks once too often all it says is that you have a pretty noise
maker. Do read up on sources other than neocon friendly US
publications. Events are racing past you faster than you can
imagine. The Big Game today is for the resource exploitation of whole
continents - Asia, Africa, South America. Economic exploitation means
developing economic bonds and politico-cultural relationships that
gravitate to one's country. You are not winning. Brandishing
military power is counter productive. The EU and Japan are drawing
away from you least they stumble into a (own) country destroying
political mess though your strategic blunders. India is reassessing
her very recent and once rosy Bush II initiated alliance with the US.
for the same reason. Pres. Obama's recent trip to Asia is telling. He
is genuinely respected and liked by all Asians. But he came away
empty handed. No one in the places he visited is unduly concerned
that the US will not play a lead role in Asia in the days to come.
