EP, Chuck: <<Has anything changed for the worse>> basically the same as in the few weeks back. China is watching whether Mr. Chen - Taiwan's new prez, will recognize the "One China" principle and Mr. Chen is trying to preserve Taiwan's de facto independence without openly and officially acknowledge what China is demanding - "One China" principle.

A creative solution might be found to satisfy the need of both sides, therefore the status quo can be maintained and war be avoided.

<<I can see that such an event is possible but is this a probable threat in your view? What odds would you give for such an event?>>

I'd say somewhere below but close to 50%. National pride is the #1 motivator here and pride could be blind as well, sadly.

<<Also, why do you say "AMD in particular"? Do you see anything other than UMC chipset and motherboard exposure?>>

AMD MPU's infrastructures are perceived and in fact in Taiwan. If war or blockade occur, Athlon is toast.
