Feels like its just a countdown until Biden sends troops to Taiwan.

Taiwan's fortifications are interesting to look into. It's a veritable island fortress, not using that term loosely either. For real, it makes Israel look like easy pickings.
That island has alot of things working in its favor in defense of a siege. From the geography, to the technology. Lots of rocky nasty shorelines, only a few places for amphibious landings, all the latest anti-air/ship weapons, and a fanatical population. (just naming a few)
China would have real problems trying to wage a conventional (non-nuclear) war on Taiwan, even before you consider the international support.
This is likely why china doesn't make a move, other than to rattle their sabers.
This recent aussie submarine deal is a boon to the defense of the whole region, and an unexpected middle finger to the chinese from the biden admin.
