A massive revolt will creat whole bunch of warlords with nuclear weapons. That just makes the world much much more dangerous.

Besides, I don't think Americans will put up with the severe rise in prices if we cut off trade with them. I am more in favor of FAIR trade.

Actually, I don't give a rats rear about prices in this context. And free and independent subsets of China would be much more reasonable about nukes than China is. China helps NK and Iran, who are seeking nukes with us as the target. China's military teaches the doctrine of "assymmetric warfare". They are not remotely our friends, under the present dictatorship.

Then you certainly are not in favor of the current trae practices with the PRC...it is anything buyt fair.

Also, we heard the same doom and gloom about the break-up of the Soviets...many nuclear armed rogue nations and such...didn't transpire. There are a LOT less nucs in China than the Soviets had, so excuse me if I discount this arguement.

If there is a revolt...a strong nation will rise out of the rest with our and the ROC's help and we shall work with them, like we did the Soviets, to avoid unchecked proliferation.
