This conflict would not end with Taiwan being invaded it would only start to escalate from that point.
I suspect a lot of "western " countries won't get involved in a trade war with China . Countries like Australia can't afford to, Canada went a bit weak at the knees when a few "delays" occurred over them arresting someone. And Europe? None of them have had any interests in the Far East since WW2 or before except the Brits - who handed back Hong Kong. India might join in tho' for obvious reasons.
None of the countries in the "South" will bat an eyelid - Brazil, Chile, Argentina, S Africa, Nigeria, Indonesia and as for the Middle East.......
