We can't really predict what the politicians will be like when/if war breaks out over Taiwan. The U.S. has retained a policy of only using nukes if one has been used on it. We don't really know if the Chinese leaders are willing to risk nuclear war. Are the generals of the Chinese military willing to risk it? Hell yeah, apparently. One thing I can say for sure is (and it's just common sense), you just don't threaten to use nuclear arms on a country that has 15,000 more nuclear weapons than you. It's not smart, but then again both America and China have had their own political idiots now and then.
As for the conventional People's Liberation Army Navy, the only concern I have at all is over those sizzler weapons and the silent submarines. Those alone can't win a war, but they could still cause some serious damage to a fleet. The U.S. Navy is currently working on way of countering the sizzlers and making better submarine detection systems.
