#1 Careful considered steps are the way, not a politician's election campaign rhetoric. The co-opting of Hong Kong's constitution and politicians should serve as adequate warning to any Taiwanese considering reunification. No need to poke the dragon, just keep procuring the weapons necessary to defend themselves. We need to take their side on that.

#2 not good timing for a straights crisis from US point of view. With Iraq still hot, issues elsewhere in mideast and GWOT, plus North Korea where Chinese cooperation is really helpful. Understand Taiwanese affection for their democracy, and eagerness not to be subject to PRC thugs, but would help a lot if they could cool it for awhile.
