Things changed. Most war games/simulations around Taiwan that I'm aware of were lost by US or stalemated.

"US Could Lose 1000 Fighter Jets, Its Entire Global Fleet If It Goes To War Against China Over Taiwan"[1]

Fundamentally the access to resources would make defending Taiwan exceptionally challenging. The real answer to the war though is disconnect our supply chain dependencies from China and let them sink into economic chaos, and that is easily winnable and already in work.

It's not easily winnable. It will take more than a decade to move so much manufacturing to other places. Many things will just stay there in China as long as they can.
