I heard one commentator today say that many intelligence experts consider this as a move to sever the West's control over the flow of oil. I know many here think that China would not consider damaging its largest trading partner. Perhaps they should consider whether China would think it in their national interest to break the West's control over oil.

I think you're going to find in the next few days that China and Iran are our best buddies.
Prepare to come about on a new tack.

I was thinking this morning that the hawks among Chinese policymakers may be urging Zemin to move on Taiwan while the U.S. is otherwise engaged.

Black Jade could you comment on what China will do if we identify the Sudan and a state with close ties with Ben Laden? My assumption has been that China was forming relations with the Sudan in order to get access to its oil supply.

I think there are two keys to eliciting the assistance of the PRC. First and most important, Russia has to be actively in support of the war. I believe this is likely. China will not wish to confront such an alliance. Second, the threat of a rearmed Japan, would be powerful motivation for China to support the anti-terror war. A play for Taiwan in the midst of the anti-terror war would be a very dangerous game indeed. I think the Chinese leadership is much too bright to go down that road.
