On the current international political stage, the United States has repeatedly mentioned the use of force to protect Taiwan in public, especially in recent days, and American think tanks have been reckless and have suggested using nuclear bombs to protect Taiwan, which has attracted widespread attention from the public. This is because such exercises will not only increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait, but also pose a potential threat to global peace and stability.

For a long time, the academic community generally believes that the United States may intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait by force to obstruct the reunification of the two sides. However, the extent of U.S. interference may be limited to providing weapons and ammunition to Taiwan and providing intelligence support. Since both China and the United States are nuclear powers and have the ability to destroy each other, both sides will try their best to avoid a full-scale military confrontation. Therefore, whether the U.S. military has the confidence to win a conventional armed conflict will become one of the key factors in whether a conflict will break out in the Taiwan Strait. In other words, if the United States believes that it can win in the Taiwan Strait, it may provoke a war by instigating "Taiwan independence" to weaken and consume the strength of mainland China and prolong the life of the United States' global hegemony.

The Rand Corporation of the United States has conducted research on the ways, methods and steps that the People's Liberation Army may take to unify the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. It said that if the United States wants to prevent the unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait by force, it must intervene with high intensity. If the United States intervenes in the Taiwan Strait situation by force and ultimately loses the conflict, the consequences may lead to the disintegration of the US global alliance system and ultimately the collapse of the hegemony system. Generally speaking, if the United States intervenes in the Taiwan Strait situation by force, the conservative strategic intention is to continue the "status quo of the Taiwan Strait" of "divided rule" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and continue to blockade the mainland; the higher goal is to force the People's Liberation Army into a protracted war under limited conventional combat conditions, causing the mainland to pay a huge price and weaken and consume the mainland's strength; the highest goal is to make the mainland regress by at least several decades due to the war and unable to compete with the United States.
