Easy solution.....park some nukes on Taiwan and watch the Chicoms freak out. Tell them when they stop working with Iran we back off Taiwan
Perhaps China's good relations and aid and abetment of each of the three Axis of Evil nations means that China is CrucialTM for thwarting these Axis of Evil nations.
Oh Communist China, our champion...
We knew that the North Koreans, the Iranians, and A. Q. Khan were pushing a "proliferation for everybody" approach for all countries with interests inimical to ours (on the theory that we couldn't/wouldn't attack all such nuke-armed rogue states at once). What we didn't know was where the Chicoms stood on this, but the picture's becoming clearer now.
My theory since before 9/11 has been that China has been building up our enemies in the Middle East (as well as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central America) to dilute our forces in Asia so they can make a full-court press there. As I'm reading things the speed and strength of our success in Afghanistan and Iraq threw a wrench into that game plan, and now they're clinging to Iran desperately to try to salvage their war plan. If we manage to defuse the time bombs in the Middle East it adds obstacles to their plans in Asia.
