>>The fact that the chinese ran into our plane and is holding it to steal Technology is abhorent.<<

The crew have been trained to destroy the most sensitive secret equipment, e.g, cryptology, and had time to do it.

>>Its only a matter of time before China tries to grab TAIWAN.<<

In light of the fact that we are considering selling more fancy weapons to Taiwan, the timing of this incident doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. They are testing us.

Remember, we have taken the position that there is only one China, and that Taiwan is part of China, since 1972, the Shanghai Communique issued jointly by China and President Nixon. We have agreed to sell arms to Taiwan for self defense, but no longer have a public policy of defending Taiwan. Taiwan is one of those golden geese the Chinese are too shrewd to kill, IMO. Check out the State Department position on Taiwan. I was surprised to see the close economic ties that Taiwan has formed within the PRC.
