actually the US might just let that happen. while some suggest the Taiwan Relation Act assure US will defend Taiwan, it actually does not. it only requires the President to inform Congress, it does not bind the president to any action.Chinese communist formally defeat Taiwani Democrats and take control by force (Which USA will not let happen)
Carter has already defeated Congress attempt to maintain the alliance in 1979.

US no longer have any responsibility to a "non-ally, non-state" entity anymore than they did HK.
the 2011 joint statement brought alot of concern for ROC because the US officially stand by the one china policy now, as clarified in 1982, US "interpretation" no longer just acknowledges the one china policy but has in fact accepted the definition that there is only one china and that US does not support the one china/one taiwan position they experimented with during nixon times... the 1982 position, is under Reagan, so can the republican fault Reagan for selling out Taiwan? this I want to see!
