The Chinese have been building a blue water navy for years. They intend to be the super power in their part of the world as well as take back Taiwan. Unfortunately our chicken shit president will take no action against it. He will still be launching missiles into Libya. His few week war that has been in process for what, 3 months now? We need to get Zero out of the Oval Office and put someone in there that won't have an agenda to turn this country into a third world shit hole like Mexico.

Take back Taiwan? The U.S. already recognizes a one-China policy (not to be confused with China’s one CHILD policy ;)).

It’s just how fast the reunification should take place that is in question.

One thing that no one talks about when discussing Taiwan is the fact that the Nationalist Government has been planning, (with under the table US help.) on how to handle a Chinese invasion. For 60 YEARS! Every change in PLA tactics or capabilities or equipment is judged, and systems are created or changes to adjust to the new threat axis.

Go on a stroll thru Taipei. You see that every intersection has a concrete machine gun emplacement, or four, covering every street.
Every bridge has pill boxes guarding the approaches. Do you think that every bridge support has built in holes for explosives to drop the bridge in minutes?
Large fields of fire surround every government building,
There are tank obstacles in all the river beds, and the river banks are 20 foot high vertical concrete walls, with tunnels feeding into the channel. (Even if the water is only 6 inches deep. All of them can double as anti-tank obstacles.)
Do you suppose that in the mountains that you can see to the south, there are buried artillery emplacements with every square inch of the city registered?
(Warning- The purple sauce on what you thought was chop suey is squid ink...)

The Communist government has been threatening for 60 years to invade and restore the "Taiwan Province," to PRC control. No matter which whinging pantywaist idiot is in our White House. Do you suppose there is a reason they've waited? Or, are they just nice guys?
