#1 "We have nothing to be afraid of. The North Koreans have stood up to America and has anything happened to them? No. Iran stands up to America and does disaster befall it? No."

I think I see the problem here...

#2 The Chinese would do well to recall the apocryphal quote attributed to Isoruku Yamamoto: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

#6 The problem with that thought Beldar is that the giant is no longer sleeping but is instead comatose, brain-dead, and demonstrative of signs of life only because no one has yet removed his life support.

#10 China has always been big with the words, usually coming from Generals which provide deniability.

Fact is it won't be long before the US will stop selling to Taiwan because of political pressures, economics and cowardice. At that point, if Taiwan doesn't have other allies they'll start looking for some kind of accomidation. Perhaps some kind of special area like Hong Kong, or a ten or twenty year transition plan to allow the Chinese to take victory now but delay the inevitable and avoid a conflict that might really smash up the region.
