Steve,

Massive response was not meant to be interpreted as invading or bombing China (except locations from which attacks are launched against Taiwan).

More of what I had in mind was a UN reinforcement of Taiwan, threatening to overrule the Chinese and Russian vetoes in the security council, if necessary.

Basically, attacking Taiwan would be Bejing's escalation of events beyond all justification. A UN/US reinforcement of Taiwan would up the stakes accordingly potentially creating a long-term linkage between Taiwan and the west and placing them directly under our umbrella of protection from an abusive "sibling".

But understand my viewpoint. I have nothing against China and Taiwan reunifying. But forcing the issue at the point of a gun is intolerable and not responding would be a terrible precedent to set that would only encourage Bejing's corrupt leadership to press their demands upon the west.

This is about mutual respect between nations, not kowtowing to Bejing's every threat.

Regards,

Ron
