#1 I think we can all give a hearty and humble thanks that the Chinese have an astoundingly incompetant foreign service, and have never cared what foreigners think.

#3 Japan has heavily invested in China, now China is acting up and Japan is making it clear that China isn't the only player able to provide highly skilled, highly educated, very cheap workers.

I hope it's not just a bluff though because I've long thought US companies should do the same thing with all of China's threats and bluster.

#4 I think it was last yr that there was long story of how China was going to build a superhighway from China thru the "Stans" and the steppes,and it was to be financed by the Japanese. Wonder how the project is doing now?

#6 From the Hindustan Times

Japan will build a $5-billion east-west rail corridor between Delhi and Mumbai and Delhi and Howrah in its latest effort to promote Indiaâs infrastructure. The corridor will allow multi-modal, high-axle load freight trains, with a fully-computerised traffic control system, to run from one end of the country to the other.

#7 When you think about the belligerent China foreign policy, name one place their asshole attitude has made long-term sense? Lunatics looking for face, when they could be a legit world power....communists still don't get it, that's a good thing. Now, Japan, how about that missile defense and rearmament...nukes yet?

#8 I see the defensive line forming up composed of India/Taiwan/Japan with the US as a blitzing linebacker. Russia should be worried.

#10 Badanov: I'm digesting your concept - (sayeth Ratburt) its making my head hurt. My belief is China needs "stuff" not more people. Eastern Russia has "stuff", Taiwan has only technology and workers, not resources. I think the rhetoric we hear is a faint. Whereas, we will come to the aid of India/Taiwan/Japan, Russia will consider it too much a loss of face to ask for our help. Big war.

#11 well, at least the forces are associating to stop a Clancyesque Chinese breakout for raw materials...

#12 Brer Rabbit,
The Mainland Chinese leaders WANT Taiwan back. First,they really believe all Chines and Chinese territory should be united. Second,the existance of a prosperous,free Taiwan offers a successful competing vision of China that cannot be tolerated. Third,all the Western reasons-hostile "unsinkable aircraft carrier",need to distract unhappy people,gain the econmic resources of Taiwan,eliminate an economic competitor,wanting to dominate Western Pacific,etc.-all may play a part,but for the Cinese,it's reasons 1 and 2 that really matter.
