Ah yes. Dreams of lost empire. Sounds familiar. I can't help but wonder, once they grab Taiwan, where do they stop? Do they then have to take Vietnam, for example, to be a 'true superpower'? Maybe Mongolia? If they can't be a superpower with what they have now, the never will be one.
Ah yes, a return to the largest borders of china with the tributary states.
Mongolia,SE Asia and Korea alonng with Pakistan.

I think that attacking Taiwan will start a larger, more strategic plan of attacking the middle east and conquering the oil resources. What makes the world go round? It aint love and it isn't even money, it's oil. My guess of the week.
