Fast forward to 2012. The Taiwanese political leadership, with the mass support of the population, has irrecovably decided against the "One China, Two Governments" plans. The Taiwanese government and people want full independence in name and principle, and the right to establish themselves in international organizations, etc.
Relations between the United States and China are at an all-time low, as the construction of China's blue water navy and expansion of its economic and military sphere of influence has brought it into conflict with those of the United States.
The Indonesian government has agreed to the construction of Chinese naval bases on its territory. Five exist, at Banda Aceh, Dumai, and Belinyu on Sumatra, another at Paloh on Borneo, and yet another an Manado on Celebes. China effectively controls the Straits of Molucca as well as most of the rest of Indonesian waters.
This time around, China is not bluffing. Taiwan will be attacked and invaded.
Please give your scenarios presenting success or failure.
