The United States is confident that it could win in a war defending Taiwan should China choose to mount an invasion, said United States Indo-Pacific Commander, Admiral John C. Aquilino.

“The United States does not choose to escalate, we are not being provocative. That said, I’m confident that we'd be able to fight and win wherever it went,” he said at a panel titled “Preserving a Legacy of Liberty and Peace in the Indo-Pacific” on May 23.
