China warns Taiwan independence means war as US pledges support

Taiwan's strength is human capital, not natural resources. We should begin offering relocation and a path to citizenship to Taiwanese. If China really wants another island, let them have it. Without the human capital, it isn't worth much.

In any case, Americans should start making peace with some aspects of Chinese expansionism. We aren't going to start WW3 in the South China Sea over Taiwan, and if we did, there is a good chance we would lose.

Bring the best Taiwanese to the US and if China thinks they can get them back, then yes, its turn-the-launch-key time as that represents a threat to domestic soveriegnty.

This sounds a lot like a kidnapper threatening to kill the victim if the vic won't go with the kidnapper, and also threatening any bystanders who might think of interfering.

Nobody likes a bully, China. Grow up.
