TJ, the greatest empire that ever lived did not "kaboom" nor did rot. The British politely folded their flag in Hong Kong and left you to the untender mercies of your bosses in Beijing: <empires do not go quietly. they go rot and then kaboom. it is nature's law.> The 100 year lease was up. Time to move on.

When NZ decided to do what Taiwan considers, there was no kaboom or rot or war or threat. NZ simply said "CU lata". Still friends and synergistically profitable.

It's not quite a law of nature.

Meanwhile, the QCOM empire backed by the biggest Armada that ever sailed the seven seas continues to help China drag itself out of the medievil era. They still need to go CDMA/OFDM in 450MHz and 800MHz instead of TD-SCDMA in a mess, which is happening if you follow the TD-SCDMA news of cutbacks in development work on the silly "CDMA with Chinese characteristics" ideology.
