Thanks for the flag on this article. Do you think China would use nuclear weapons on Taiwan prior to an invasion? I don't think they would if you pardon my use of a cliche, they would be killing the goose that lays the golden egg. On the other hand, I suppose if they figure Taiwan is a US aircraft carrier a couple miles off of the Chinese mainland then they might. Tough to tell. Their other golden egg, Hong Kong, seems to be going down hill just as fast as the world economy is so maybe they don't need golden eggs just the security the island of Taiwan gives and the access it denies foriegn vessels entering the South China Sea.
