Along with the “pay Russians to defect” idea, I submit we should provide advance commitments to Taiwanese people to immigrate permanently to America in the case of a conflict breaking out with China. If China knows an invasion will mean a massive brain drain to the US, maybe this puts a damper on their desire to invade in the first place.
Pretty sure that doesn’t begin to address the reasons why a paranoid dictator might invade Taiwan, and indeed would undo a lot of hard work spent signaling that the US would defend Taiwan without committing us to nuclear war.
