GST, Don't pretend that China or even their communist leaders are that monolithic. There are always factions - liberals and conservatives (as it were) in every government. China is running a trade surplus with the rest of the world and a huge one with the US in particular. Their economy would crumble overnight and they would return to the dark days of the 1960's if they attacked Taiwan. We could replace the type of goods we get from China with those made elsewhere far easier than could replace a market with which they enjoy a 120B surplus. And if you think we would be the only country upset at a unilateral Chinese attack - your kidding yourself. John ps did any of your trips involve Taiwan?
