I think China will screw America when they think they can pull off the "Big Screw"...Taiwan. I think China loves the fact that we are spread thin between the ME, Korea, and the fact that we have only half an alliance with Europe. It leaves room for them to get creative in all this. But then I reckon that since they don't actually manufacture anything we actually need we could cut them off completely if they went after Taiwan. Our inlfation rate would go up GDP would initially go down but we would get over it. Then maybe Mexico could assume that role which we be mutually beneficial.
I like the way you think. It sure would cut down on shipping cost wouldn't it?

Taipei - Fighter jets from China locked on to a plane carrying Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian during a trip over the Taiwan Strait, it was reported on Thursday.
Chen's Air Force One official plane had been heading for Penghu, an island group in the strait, when it was targeted by the warplanes from China, the United Daily News said, quoting unidentified Chinese defence sources.
