Theres not much of an air or sea threat to Taiwan.

B-1s and B-2s flying off Guam with JSOWs, JASSMs and JDAMs, combined with submarines, are enough to completely destroy any sea columns that would supply the Chinese forces. An aircraft carrier or two, coupled with the F-15s of the FEAF(which can be backed by F-22s if the need be) would provide the air superiority needed to counter J-10s, J-11s and MKKs, should the Chinese bring them. The Taiwanese Ching-Kuos are sufficient to handle J-7s or J-8s. Without air superiority, theres no way your going to get airlift support.
