One hopes that this is contingency preparation on their part and not the thin-end of a genuinely revisionist policy, though Beijing's obsession with Taiwan, and our recent habit of unnecessary concession on the issue doesn't bode well. If the Chinese come to believe we won't actually fight over Taiwan's right to choose it's fate, they are far more likely to use military force to settle the matter, particularly given the CCP's institutional predisposition against negotiation.Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776242322789918501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-181992974531003552011-08-25T19:24:56.906-04:002011-08-25T19:24:56.906-04:00oh well USA gotta pay its senior citizens.
