The reality is, China would have attacked Taiwan years ago if it weren't for the might of America's military standing in their way. Their military leaders may pine-away and threaten invasion action against Taiwan, and America may play a "let them save face" foreign policy game, but the reality is America will defend Taiwan if China attacks the island.

China's communist leaders know it, and they resent the hell out of the U.S. because of it (Remember the ridiculous capture of America's P-3 crew which was forced to land, due to a renegade Tom Cruise pilot losing the big picture).

This "containment" policy demonstrates another example of how America is maintaining peace around the world. Something which seems totally forgotten by our European allies in the press as of late.

One day China will mature enough to throw the communist dictators out of power and hold free elections. I expect it to see it happen within the next decade.

When it happens, Taiwan will be annexing China, not the other way around.
