The US also officially recognises Taiwan as part of China, too, right? So if the US bombs Taiwan, that's essentially declaring war on China. It'll be gearing to get China to do the bombing but China won't fall for it. All it has to do is wait it out. Meanwhile, the US is fighting itself, the planet, and most of the world for its own survival. Edward Gibbons' History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire will be turned into a movie to be played around Hallowe'en in the US within the next few years.

They recognize that there can only be one united China yes, so if they attacked Taiwan it would be considered an attack on the PRC. They're so slimy they would probably refuse the one china principle and declare the ROC something weird like "Non-administered territory" or something, like Bush did for "enemy combatant" which has become accepted in common discourse 20 years later it's crazy.

But likewise the PRC considers Taiwan to be theirs and would defend it. They also consider the people living in Taiwan to be their citizens, so I assume they would organize evacuations of the island in case of war. They probably have plans drawn up already to make it efficient. As for the ROC army... they would disband in 48 hours tops lol.
