Hawk, Chinese will extend the empire as far as they can get away with it. Taiwan was always part of something it seems. It probably belongs as part of china, hopefully when china is free. Nationalists occupied Taiwan and character of the island is chinese. Tibet is a bit different but given where it sits, it reminds me of kurdish predicament. Actually the alternative to a large unified, albeit imperfect china is what happened to the USSR and that is breakaway provinces all over the place. Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Uigher province and i am sure other areas would want to be self governing. Not sure that works to our long term interests. However the line in the sand for expansion of the empire needs to be drawn and not beyond the potential peaceful reunification with taiwan. Deep down i imagine the chinese would love to include singapore and other areas with heavy overseas chinese populations like Frisco (g). Mike
