Shane, China is also dependent on many of those Taiwan items. The Chinese have heard of killing the goose that lays the golden egg and content themselves with posturing and trying to spin things their way. China lacks the sea power to support an invasion of Taiwan against the Taiwanese air force. Remember Taiwan planes would have a 30:1 kill ratio over chinese planes due to radar and air to air and ground to air missiles. China has the army to walk over them if they had a bridge that could not be broken. I think the Chinese will play a waiting game and hope that Taiwan will get closer and closer as time goes by. The Taiwanese hate the mainlanders, but what will happen 100 years from now? The economic cost of a war would be large and would destroy all the good stuff in Taiwan and throw millions of chinese out of work as those parts stopped coming and after it all they would have more people and more land, about 1% of each for a net loss, except for being able to "say we are one"....not enough for a war, IMO Bill
