Why is there a need for it to be apart of China?
It all stems back to WWII and Chiang Kai-shek (nationalist) and Mao Tse-tong (communist).
Communist Mao-Tse-tong took over China in 1949 and Nationalist Chiang-Kai-shek fled to Formosa/Taiwan.
Well seekerof that is a tipical american thinking why does it has to be a part of china or why does kosovo have to be a part of serbia or cechenia a part o russia and so on.So lets talk about why does california and texsas have to be a part of the states they are originaly mexican and what about hawai and alaska it is okay for you to support terrorists and justifive them by calling them freedom fighters as long as they serve american interests.Lets be fair america is the global opresor it is not a free country i mean how can you be so blind a country were a woman cant safely and openly perform a abortion for fear of clinic bombing or she being shot,were a law is being passed were women thongs should not be visual any more because it is not appropriate,were everyone can bare arms.....you are a christian version of taliban ,you are a scared manipulated and under-educated nation that will do anything and belive anything its goverment says.And if the U.S has the right to preamptive strike so does china,russia.....
Thank you.

What do 'yall think about the idea of the U.S. just keeping hold on all the jobs and goods produced in China? In other words quit relying on China to produce goods we can produce here. It seems to me to be a good way to get our budget deficet in line. In the short term, our goods may be somewhat higher for Americans to purchase, but overall I think it would stagnate China's economy. How about some feed back please?
It's a great idea, but big business will tell you differently. The "greed" maybe too BIG of a monster to over come at this stage.
Peace

US warns of China’s military advances
From Oliver August in Beijing

The US as been selling advanced (and offensive in nature) missile technology and aircraft to Taiwan for a long time... This whole process has been Tit for Tat since the beginning....

with our tech that taiwan has, we cant afford to not get involved, if china defeats them, they will have alot of new toys to play with, if they invade i bet we will be involved in a naval and air battles and some ground support like the soviets and chinese in korea and vietnam and what we did in afghanistan against the soviets.
So I guess the U.S. better now stop trying to handle something too hot (Middle East) and stick to something simpler and more straightforward, right?
A war with China can have plenty of positives for America. More than the direction America's going in right now.

I mean, if the U.S. is so concerned about security, it should be paying attention to those that directly challenge and even threaten America's place in the world. These nations are all in the middle to east Asia, not in the Middle East.
The Middle East, after Iraq, should be left alone. There's nothing good to come from going to the Middle East and it's the one place that can easily destroy everything.
