    They don't, but China has yet to impress me on any emotional or technological level. They can take Taiwan, the same way they took on the Soviet Union or India. By putting up or shutting up.

    The problem is that they NEED Taiwan. It's a matter of survival, if not for the Chinese people, then at least for the Chinese regime. Xi Jinping will not go down quietly.
