According to Robert Spalding, retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General, nuclear weapons are the only power that can fight China in the event of a conflict over Taiwan.

China reportedly sent 42 warplanes and eight naval vessels toward Taiwan on April 8 in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on April 5 in California.
