You are overlooking the nazi aspect.
The chineese ruling class are quite possibly the most arrogant race on the planet. They are self centered and they will not stop until their rogues are brought under control, imho.
Personally, I could care less about trade.. if it comes down to selling out taiwan then that's not acceptable. If they re-unify on their own, from economic pressures, as you alude to then it's on their own head.
Frankly speaking, I find Chinese to be some of the least arrogant and most down-to-earth people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
You just hit the nail on it's head my friend. Just to prove your point one does not have to travel to China or Taiwan to see that. Have you ever banked with any of those chinese owned banks?
Well, unfortunately, I have felt this on my own, when my bank(a small bank, where the bank teller knew me and my wife by the first name, and all the transactions were made on time and in good faith) was taken over by some chinese owned bank. Everything went to the dogs, personell change(almost all of them are chinese), they hold payroll checks in excess of at least 3 days, with absolutely no advance(even BofA is better at this), and a host of other things make you want to kill somebody.
If you are trying to reason with somebody about anything they just tell you flat out to go and pound sand...period.Customer service?...none existent;further more they never look in your eyes when talking to you.(i know there is a chinese/oriental custom for that, but when you tell me to go pound sand, you better tell me that with straight face and have some justification for that!
I live in Southern California, Arcadia,Monrovia area where there is a large population of orientals. I am from Europe and we Europeans like to congrate togheter and have a good time. Not so with the chinamens, they look at you like you are from a different planet. On different occasions I had the delight to meet some of the japanise/americans gals at your local Tokio Lobby which was a delightfull experience.
You go to a fast food chinese restaurant, they're barking your order and then slam the door shut on you. To summ it up the chinamen are very rude people, or this is the way they operate.
I do not know, but so far I had only bad experiences dealing with them.
