Should the US step in to help Taiwan? Pick either yes or no.
If you picked yes — According to research, the US does not obtain a formal defense treaty with Taiwan, however, the US has supported Taiwan in the past with aid and military training.
It is unlikely the US would fully step in but it is a high possibility that the US would send Taiwan aid and support if the war was to commence. So, just going by history, it is assumed the US will help Taiwan in some way. Add 100 points to your score.
