With regard to the impact of China/Taiwan issues on Q... Irwin Jacobs when asked in the March 14th issue of Investor's Business Daily stated, (that) "if there were a real conflict, everybody would be in trouble, BUT, there are (now)Taiwanese manufacturers with operations in mainland China. There is cooperation between ourselves and Taiwanese and Chinese companies. We are focused heavily on the mainland Chinese companies." One might recall that even in the pre-World War II days, and into the war, many Allied companies continued to do business with the Axis powers. Most recently IBM's escapades have come to light. We must not forget the power of economic incentives.

Lipko, see the comments from this week's Economist and its suggestions as to U.S. policy towards China. This is a two-way street, and it isn't clear that the U.S. is interested in anything more than implementing its anti-missile defense strategy, no matter how much this annoys countries like China. We had a former president from Texas (Lyndon Johnson), who was advised to negotiate a settlement with the North Vietnamese shortly after taking over from Kennedy. Johnson remarked (very reliable source), "This isn't the way we do it in Texas." I hope a similar attitude does not govern future relations with China. Art
