It seems to me that China would have motivation against Islamic fundamentalists from Afganistan. They directly border the nation, and have shown no tolerance for religiosity, especially that which could destabilize their own power over thier people. Ive heard (a little not much) saying they have problems with these terrorist organizations as well.

you wonder if they are set to get into the action and flex thier muscles for the world as well?

I don't know, all I know is that Afganistan (if in fact guilty!) have really fuct themselves this time!
:D

China will never again show force again unless they know for a fact they will win...otherwise they will continue to try and manipulate the rest of the world.

a.) most people don't jump into battles unless they think they have a good chance of winning.
b.) manipulate the world? what the hell are you talking about? america manipulates the world way more than china does btw.

<< Part of me still think this is an elaborate plan that Taiwan cooked up to destroy China. What a way to lead US into believeing that the evil commies attacked US! Think about it...the US would be spending lots of resources in getting rid of the evil commies due to the terrorist attack. We all know Taiwan wants to see China destroied, we all know Taiwan wants to take back the land it lost during the Chinese civil war....What a way to get at its goal than to have two giants fight each other!

1) Taiwan people are loving
2) Taiwan gov is like rice on a plate, scattered, no unity
3) Taiwan military gots no backup, will be obliterated in seconds by US
4) China = evil, Taiwan = who cares
>>



Well, now I hope you see how absurd your original statement was. In a time of national tragedy, every American should bond together and fight for the American cause. At a time like this, I despise people who put their own political agenda in front of the American interest. That seems to be what you are doing here, it is quite obvious that your goal is to make China an enemy of US, so in turn you get to see China weakened or Taiwan gaining independence, etc. But you fail to realize that by making China an enemy of US right now, it is going to harm US significantly. No American would want to witness his/her country harmed. So what you did, UT4EVER, is very selfish and very unAmerican!

Name one country that goes to war and knows that they are going to lose?
Name one country that shows all their cards to the public?

I can't. Can you, UT4EVER?

The reason China wants Taiwan is not to save face or for economic prowness. It's just a tiny nation. If they do take over, all the investors would pull out and it's be just another island. The reason China wants Taiwan is a military one. The US protects Taiwan because they view Taiwan as a missile lanch pad. If China flinnnches, the US can nuke them from 100 miles away. The Chinese simply don't want guns pointed their way from so close. (don't mistake me for a fan of Red China, simply stating the facts)

eyez, while that may be part of it, i think the main reason is that taiwan is a rogue state of china. it's like if hawaii just decided to leave the union.

Even though I hate the Communist Party in China and find them to be one of the most dispicable groups in the world, their economy depends on us a lot. They do not want the U.S. to suffer economic trouble.
