8. OK - why doesn't China just TAKE Taiwan - hmmm


. . This is NOT an educated response, but rather an opinion from what I know and have observed about the area

. . The USA has forces in Japan and South Korea - so obviously this is a sensetive area

. . and MAYBE, just MAYBE - even if they WANT to "take" it

. . if the USA "mucks up" in the area, then the USA will look like the bad guy and then China doesn't look like the agressor if it "takes" Taiwan to make that "corner" of their border/coast more secure !

Is it possible, just MAYBE, that China's leaders are smarter than GeeDubya and his gang of thugs ?

Gee - tough decision there !!
