And for those who don't already know this, last spring (IIRC), we sent about seven carrier groups to China to warn the Chi-Coms away from attacking Taiwan. The Chinese leaders have threatened to launch on us again, since, because they can't hold their water. My guess is that we probably still have at least two carrier groups near the Strait. Quite a few allies are also aiming at the Chinese now, although India could now blow them away without the help from Australia, friends in southeast Asia, et al.

My suggestion to American corporates is to take a really good, up-close look at India and some of the friendlier Pacific Rim countries. China has an ugly and growing pollution problem, anyway, as it's been putting all of its smoking, oozing factories in the muddy river plains instead of where drainage and natural filtering would be better (the higher elevations they want to preserve for the tourists).
