Damn Amsterdam, I never thought you'd be the voice of reason but you hit the nail on the head.

Yes, if there would be no repercussions China would probably take over Taiwan tomorrow. But they've worked far too hard to build up their economy, industries, and infrastructure to waste it all away. The Chinese government is not run by a dellusional madman who thinks Allah will protect him against the Great Satan. Whether or not their politics are different from ours they are intelligent, professional politicians. They know what would happen if there was a war between the U.S. and China.It would be devastating for both countries and all that they've worked so har for over the past 25 years or so would be gone. Why any reasonable person thinks that they'll just say "whatever, let's go for it" is beyond me.
