Tell me why Lincoln start American Civil War? In the same way, China will tolerate Taiwan independence. Let alone, Taiwan will be the front arrow of US and Japan against China.

If China followed the same path of Soviet, Taiwan likely would celebrate its 10's Anniversary of independence. Of course it is in your daydreaming.

Fair enough, Taiwan is strategic interest of China, if needed, All options are open. The fact is war between US and China, both will be destroyed, and I believe US will value more the whole World than Taiwan.

FredT, you are so funny to have so much confidence in US force.
Everyday, I see US soldier died in vain in Iraq and Afganistan, and they are using only AK-47 and RPGs.

If the people of Taiwan want to be independant, then they should remain so. China should have no say in the matter. if you want a say in the matter, then let those 1.3 billion chinese move to taiwan, good luck.
But its thier island. i dont care if you do not like it or not, its not the say of the chinese to determine the fate of taiwan. definitely not by force.
