#2 "Taiwan's defense ministry said on Tuesday it planned to finish by June its proposal for a US$15 billion special budget to buy advanced weapons from the United States and counter China's threats to invade. Taiwan says the high-tech weaponry, including anti-missile defenses, submarines and destroyers, are in response to a vast array of missiles China has pointed at the island. Chen says China has 500 missiles aimed at Taiwan as is adding one missile every six days."

My dear friends and their little child over in Taiwan are all sleeping better tonight, I love that.

#4 If China would just bother to make some sort of substantive move towards reducing the US$ 127 BILLION trade deficit with America, we wouldn't have to go around flogging our armaments in their backyard.
