That's true. But China could point at both the War on Terror and the Bush Doctrine if they felt like it. It would be difficult for the US to say anything about it. Taiwanese forces pose a much bigger threat to China than Iraq did to the US.
That's why I believe that Iraq was a bad precedent to set. People outside of the US didn't oppose the war because they thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy - it's more as if it opened a Pandora's Box of international politics.
