Taiwan trembling with fear as dragon arms itself

It's a law that a lot of countries actually have, it will force China's hand to attack Taiwan if it declares independence.

Ironically, the U.S also made an anti-secession law just before the American Civil War.

Do you know if such a law exists in regard to Hawaii ? It'd be interesting so see their reaction to that... They make so much money of Tourism there, keep that in mind...

I dunno about any specifics, but the US would have a general law regarding anti-secession from the USA.

The Chinese anti-seccession law is also a general law, i don't even think it mentions Taiwan.

So much media hype has turned this issue into so much more than it actually is... The only thing that would make Taiwan and China lead to a full scale war is if Taiwan rocks the boat for some stupid reason or another...

What is Taiwans reasons for becoming independant... How are they being opressed (if at all)... As I have said before... It would be on paper only, them becoming independant would just be a matter of principal...
