Why not. China has intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warhead. Iran does not.

By now the Taiwanese after they witness war in Iran should conclude there is no escape from eventual unification to China.
The entire US bases in the Far East, including Guam, will be decimated within the first day.
So now it's up to Taiwanese yo decide if they are comfortable living under China rule. Many big businesses already investing in US and Japan as a safety option. Those who feel uncomfortable will seek citizenship elsewhere.

John Culver, former CIA analyst:
In case of war with Taiwan, the U.S. will flee the theater
This is undoubtedly the single most stunning revelation in the entire piece. Culver says that - as far as he is aware - the Pentagon’s plan in case of war with Taiwan is… flee!
This is the exact quote: "I think some of the thinking in the Pentagon, and it may have evolved since I retired, is that when we think there’s going to be a war, we need to get our high-value naval assets out of the theater, and then we would have to fight our way back in. From where, it’s not clear. Guam is no bastion either."
Why? Because, as he explains, any high-value U.S. assets would be sitting ducks in the entire area. China can strike U.S. forces deployed to Japan, Australia, or South Korea “in a way that Iran really can't” and, given that Iran has hit at least 228 targets across U.S. bases in the Middle East - forcing the U.S. to evacuate most of them - that's saying something. Also, U.S. aircraft carriers would need to operate within 1,000 miles of the fight to matter, which - given it’s well within range of Chinese missiles - they won’t.
As Culver bluntly puts it: “There's really no safe spaces.”

During his two-hour high-stakes summit with Donald Trump in Beijing on May 14, 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a stark warning regarding Taiwan, stating that Taiwanese independence and cross-strait peace are "as irreconcilable as fire and water"
Xi framed the Taiwan question as the "most important issue" in U.S.-China relations. He cautioned that while a "properly handled" relationship could remain stable, any mishandling of Taiwan could push the two superpowers to collide or even clash, creating an "extremely dangerous situation"
Taiwanese can sleep well tonight and every night
