#2 Is China making more noise over Taiwan now than it usually does? Seems that way.
They must think they have enough of those diesel subs to scare off a carrier group. HA!

#3 "Chinaâs Minister of Defence Cao Gangchuan told US military representatives Beijing will never allow Taiwan to become an independent state..."
Obviously delusional -- Taiwan IS an independent state.

It would be nice to clear up some of these long-running myths and face THESE truths:

Taiwan IS an independent state.

Any attack by North Korea IS sufficient grounds for wiping the place clean.

Iran's attitude toward the U.S. and its quarter century of attacks and terrorism ARE alone sufficient grounds for wiping the place clean.

The Palestinians in "refugee camps" ARE at home.

The Jews in Israel are NOT moving again, and NOT going to be vaporized or pushed into the sea.

The U.S. is NOT going to leave the balance of power in the Middle East in the hands of Islamo-lunatics and other hostile powers. Iran and Syria had BETTER start behaving properly VERY, VERY soon.

#5 The obvious solution here is for China to unite with Taiwan. Think about it: would you want to be part of the worlds largest police state or part of a modern, functional democratic country?

#6 Why is this even an issue? Same rhetoric - diffferent day.

#7 This is like ordering someone to stop giving birth: "It's not what we planned. We don't want it to happen. Cross your legs and hold it in. No, that's not a head coming out."

Taiwan is a powerful force that will come out when it's ripe.

#8 Wasn't Taiwan on the list of customers for the nuclear secrets sold by Dr. Kahn, the Pakistani nuclear kleptocrat? Maybe China needs to re-think their 'two Chinas' policy, or start building nuclear fallout shelters under the Great Wall. Can you imagine one medium-sized nuke on the Three Gorges dam?

#9 Fear of Taiwan is just an excuse for China to maintain the CCCC/CPRC's militarization over the Party and the entire country, i.e. justify anti-reform and to keep the masses permanently "poor but optimistic" under Communist PC slavery-peonage[see PRAVDA]. Like with still Communism-centric RUSSIA, "FASCISM" = "NEW SOCIALISM" = PC-speak for DE-REGULATED-COMPETITIVE COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM! As with the Cold War USSR, China and its economy has to no place to go but up - and like PUTIN vs YUKOS, etal., the alleged pro-reform [anti-Communist!?] Party-State will NOT allow genuine Western-style democratic capitalism/materialism to take root amongst the long-suffering masses, because it will mean Commie Govt.s role as primary Producer-Consumer-Arbiter and be-all,end-all Benefactor-Decision-maker under Ultra-Left Socialist Totalitarian Equalism/Centralism will be at risk. They are seeming "friends" of the USA because they are in catasrophic need to modernize, but theyalso know the anti-American Clintons and their cabal, like Radical Islam, are for them and anti-US Socialism-Socialist NWO/OWG!?
