I'd consider Taiwan like Alsace-Lorraine. Folks are being just a little hyperbolic here. And? IMO, they are making some pretty big assumptions about Chinese intentions.Taiwan first, then the rest of the world if china gets their way.
OTH? I have noted a shift in the posture of the government of the Philippines, which is good.
If the Chinese seize Taiwan, it will force all regional players closer together, and that will, inevitably, be the last straw, and the furthest extent of their expansion. I have no doubt.
It will force the Japanese to rearm, the Chinese will not like that one bit. That will take a lot of economic pressure off of America, and other regional players.
