#2 so much for taiwan voluntarily re-joining china proper. these chicoms really do not understand and are shooting themselves in the foot. they will not be able to take taiwan by force for at least 10 years and then i am sure taiwan will have nukes. either way it will be a very bloody turkey shoot.
