Sure.. the Taiwanese don't worry as much as we do, because they know we're obligated to protect them from invasion by China. What concerns me more is what would be the situation were Bejing to "charm" the Taiwanese into reunifying, using that to extend their economic zones into the S. China sea lanes, as they are trying to do with the Spratly's... Such a move would isolate Korea and Japan, and provide Bejing considerable influence in the region. But hey... it's only a matter of time, the way I figure, before China creates and controls their own economic zone. I would just rather than it be the case AFTER they have opened up their political system. Hawk
