I am afraid that, in the next year or so, China and Taiwan will be at war. It seems so close, what with China's military threat and Taiwan's ever-growing independence movement. China and Japan haven't been doing well either, with the flack about the textbooks, the gas mines in the East China Sea, the Japanese PM visiting a memorial for deaths during the civil war between Japan and China. China just likes to get upset at countries that don't credit it as much pride as it does. But I think China would wait to take any military action until after the Olympics, so as to save face with the rest of the world. Labels: China |
