Indeed.If China is truly a paper tiger, explain the uproar in Congress over the UNOCAL issue.There is a paper written in 1995 by a PRC General titled "Unrestricted Warfare".Go read it and see the true colors of the PRC administration.
US is always cautious when it comes to security. When ST Telemedia want to buy Global Crossing, DoD didn't want to approve as they are using Global crossing network. GCT had to write to VP Dick Cherney to clarify that there will be no security issues. Let's not forget that Lenovo was successful in buying IBM PC business.
Those Chinese generals can say what they want. But can they deliver? just like Dr M & Syed hamid in 2003 said that if there is no progress in water negotiation, the alternative is war. Mindef responded by staging a full equip open mob. They threaten in words, we respond in action and the water is still 3 sen per 1000 gallons & the crooked bridge was not bulit.
When was the last time China went to war? they invaded Vietnam and lost 20,000 men during the 14 days war. Not that I look down on them, but they may have over-stated they capabilities.
US is the only country that can stop Taiwan from going independent. China can't stop them and that's why China is pushing US to stop Taiwan from declaring independent even though Taiwan is functioning like one.
