We don't have to go nuclear.

Neutron bomb basically "microwaves" everything within its effective range, thus killing without destroying machines and structures. This act alone will remove our "limited" response restriction. All strategic targets in China will be fair game. We will destroy any and all infrastructures like bridges, power plants, water treatment, communication centers, oil refineries, airports, seaports, dams, ... etc, that we can possibly reach. It will take China at least 50 years to rebuild everything. Chinese aren't that dumb. They won't give us an excuse to do something like that by dropping a neutron bomb.

Unless you mean they can deploy some kind of EMP weapon to destroy Taiwan's electric grid and communications network without killing too many people. That will be a good one. I can see something like this happening.
