The United States and China, as two superpowers, have engaged in a prolonged and intense rivalry, with Taiwan's status standing out as a significant point of contention. Taiwan, a self-governing island, is claimed by China as its territory, while the United States staunchly supports Taiwan's democratic system and security, committing to defend it against any Chinese aggression. This dynamic has created a tense situation in the Taiwan Strait, where both sides have deployed military forces and conducted frequent exercises.

Despite China's clear geographical advantage and massive population, the United States does not shy away from the prospect of conflict over Taiwan. The question arises: why is the US seemingly unafraid to confront China in defense of Taiwan? Today, the US Navy submarines could play a pivotal role by potentially striking first against a Chinese invasion force. A successful submarine campaign could swiftly end the conflict, safeguarding Taiwan's sovereignty and undermining China's global ambitions.
