#2 They change the name, China tries to invade, we intervene and show China all our special toys.

Sounds like fun.

#4 It's funny when you look at this situation. Why would a people who have been so much more succesful than china, as evidenced by their per capita gdp, want to succumb to a system that has been proven inferior to their own. Shouldn't the chinese be looking at taiwan and say to themselves... wow if only we had their government instead of our own...

#5 I currently live in Fort Wayne which is annexing all the wealthy suburbs it can to increase the tax base. I think its the same concept.
