#1 I've been saying it since they first talked about it.... China made a HUGE mistake with this change in policy. It will service to galvanize the taiwanese against the chinese.

#2 And it is only making the other countries in the area nervous and likely to band together against China. China can gain more from peaceful trade than invasion .... unless the Chinese are broke. We already know they are in debt up to their eyeballs and their banks are looking at a 60% default rate on loans... maybe they need several hundred billion in cold hard cash to cover loans and they think Taiwan is the key to a quick fix and at the same time solve the "One China" issue. Hm.....
