Jim, Jiang's gang is threatening war right now, irrespective of "outsiders". I'm not into just letting any thugs murder people when we can easily do something about it. Anyway, why should there be amalgamation of Taiwan and China. If anything geopolitical processes are to devolution. Just as NZ split off from Australia. And both split off from Britain. It's so 19th century to try to create bigger and bigger empires and amalgamate. Small is beautiful. People with common interests are what makes communities. The amalgamation which is likely is China becoming part of a New United Nations, along with Taiwan, NZ, USA and everywhere else, rather than Taiwan becoming part of China. The anachronistic and jingoistic nationalism of the 19th and 20th century have had their day. Even the mighty USA finds little Iraq a bit of a handful. Ruling the world and running empires isn't what it was in the good old days. Taiwan and China should look to New Zealand and Oz for how the relationship should best work. Or Canada and the USA.
