That is why China is very keen in developing the Kra Canal. If
that happens, we can't even count on the Japanese ships calling at
PSA. It makes no difference whether we are chinese majority or
not.
Will USA be holding a total economic embargo? not sure, 65% of what
is sold in K-Mart is made in China, ...... China has taken all the
manufacturing jobs for goods bound for USA, how inter-dependent
they are is probably an academic question.
China will have no fears of the attacks coming from it's
backdoor..as it is landlocked at the back..
that is why china is now making friends with India, and if India
and Pakistan (China's traditional friend)also make friends, then
China's backdoor is safe. In any case, India and Pakistan will not
go to war with China for USA, democracy or not.
And if china turns around and supports the extremists in Afganistan
and the area, America will have another problem in hand.
When USA has the inability to defend Taiwan...
Japan will not intervene...South Korea also won't intervene..
Singapore much less also won't intervene..
don't think USA has ever the intention to go to war with China
just because of Taiwan.
Does US have the ability to defend taiwan? they certainly have, but
at what price? what is the ROI?
FYI, Japan will most likely never start a war again..
It has 1.3 billion pple to the left, and a super-power to the
right..
Japan is smart enough now...after eating 2 a-bombs..
The super-power on the right of Japan already station soldiers on
Japan soil, but it is used to "balance" the power of the
communists, including north Korea, and China. Japanese forces will
be glad to relieve these US forces in this balancing act, to allow
the US to handle Iran.
A bombs may not come again, but earthquake and (potentially)
vulcano will continue to destroy japan, japan do need a safe place
to stay.....story and history may be whitewashed but facts cannot
be changed.
Germany was totally devastated in WW1, and with the Paris Treaty
preventing them from building armed forces, nobody then could
believe that Germany could start another war, but what
happened....
Another conspiracy theory, hehehe, it does not hurt to think a
little far, or does it?

China needs to control the ultra nationalist sentiment and educate
their people in self discipline and control (may be that's why they
need a communist boss) and if they can demonstrate like the Hong
Kongers, 500,000 can demonstrate without the need of riot police,
then there will be no side effect to their just cause for the
protest.
Japan needs to recognise that their grandfathers indeed went to
their neighbours house and raped the wife and daughters and killed
their fathers and sons, and if japanese leaders stop visiting the
yasukuni shrine to pay respect to the war criminals as if they were
war heros, then your neighbours will respect you like the Germans
neighbours respect the German. Why do this if you have no intention
of doing again? for business, for politics, for national pride??
For no matter how you change the history, your grand fathers who
were responsible will still be in hell, just make sure that their
grand children do not follow them.
