china will take taiwan "officially" when it pleases. Even now taiwan has to endure the demands of china.. taiwan is the real pussy just like your founder Chiang Kai-Sheck. Taiwan-born Chinese people on this forum need a reality check, you always have and always will be Chinese, take a look in the mirror.
Why don't you figure out what the growth rate of the Chinese economy has been over the last several years, take 3/4 of that just for grins, and come back with what that figure will be. Then look at the commitment they have to engineering and public infrastructure projects. In thirty years that will get them a great deal. I think you underestimate them. If it makes you feel good, then ignore it. The British did that. They were inherently superior, just like us. Of course they are the worlds leading superpower today, right?

If Taiwan was attacked, national security interests would probably necessitate an American response. Half the world's freakin' semiconductor manufacturing capability in on that island, and that includes that for a bunch of 'sensitive' equipment in the US.

i can't seem to understand why the US acts like a pussy everytime it comes to China.... slap some tariffs on their imports and watch them pee their pants. they can't survive a day without exports to the US
Of course, with Dubya shifting our forces from Asia to Iraq the threat of a sufficient American response could seriously weaken.

Ok...so if Tawainese ppl aren't Chinese, then why do they continue to speak Chinese? Cause I know for a fact that they do have their own language.
The island became divided between the majority people who trace their ancestry to the early Chinese settlers (today about 70 percent of the population) and the minority whose families arrived in the 1940s (about 15 percent). Ethnic Hakka and aboriginal groups make up the rest.

My curiosity has been peaked with Taiwan's latest military exercises and the fact that China "demanded" that Taiwan be called "Chinese Taipei" in the Olympics. Why they caved, I do not know.
So what if China invaded Taiwan? Would you support the US defending Taiwan? What should the world do? The UN?
No flaming, please. Just post your point of view and see what others say their point of view is.

It's unlikely that Japan will sit idly by while that happens also.
This is the reason Taiwan is not able to declare independence because we don't want daddy China money bags coming over and saying "We OWN YOU now STOP military intervention or we kill your economy and your puny nation with it!"

That is about the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. Do you seriously think the US government would allow itself to be blackmailed in such a way?
Cutting trade with the US would be tantamount to China cutting its own neck economically.
