#2 I think the world will be shocked by Taiwan's responce to an invasion by China. I have seen some of the things being shipped over there and would not be surprised if the really cool stuff is kept in the dark. Anti-missile systems, anti-aircraft systems, anti-ship missiles launched from both air and land, etc. China might succeed just based off pure manpower thrown at the island, but it would be a bloodbath for them. China might have been able to absorb losses like that back in the 1950s and 60s, but in the modern age with a modern and liberal (see spoiled) popluation in cities, it might be too much for the current population to take. Interesting times ahead....

True, although it would also require the will to employ these means.Hopefully, the right people will be in charge in Taiwan when the PRC makes its move.

#4 mmurray, I assume you mean the PRC? (re: modern, liberal, spoiled -- sounds like South Korea, hopefully not like Taiwan)

Based on the article, didn't Mr. Blumenthal neglect to mention that the opposition is kinda pro-PRC?

#5 Yea, I meant the PRC. I have seen a few articles on how the new youth of the PRC are more and more self centered, materialistic and likely to throw a fit if they don't get what they want. Kinda like liberals. One author seemed to think this was from the "One child" policy and the spoiling of the one child by the parents. I think it is affulance. Success seems to breed lazyness and selfishness in some people.
