As long as Taiwan doesn't declare independence, it's very unlikely China will invade at all. The US doesn't want Taiwan to declare independence either because it leads to all sorts of other problems. If the US supported Taiwan's independence, then the US would be going back on its own word. China would invade Taiwan and there would be a war and the US could intervene but will do so having broken its word about not supporting Taiwanese independence.

They keep rattling the sabers though.. and rememeber the leadership is arrogant to a fault and possibly waiting for us to become overextended.

We shall see...

But none of this answers my question.. What would you do?
