The U.S. has a defense treaty with Taiwan, no?
Which screen names do you think are me?
Name them or shut up.
The U.S. has a defense treaty with Taiwan, no?
Why can't you ever just say something?
No.
The Taiwan Relations Act stipulated that the U.S. will provide Taiwan with 'arms of defensive character' to resist any 'resort to force', although it does not require the US to intervene militarily....so you still think that China won't supply the North with 'arms of defensive character' to resist any 'resort to force' to protect Chinese interests in the region?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Relations_ActThe act stipulates that the United States will "consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States".
This act also requires the United States "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character", and "to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan."
Right. That isn't a defense treaty.
semantics....
The US/NATO in China's back yard and you want to argue semantics..
Fact is, many of the Chinese troops who fought in Vietnam with the Viet Cong were 'volunteers'....borders in the region are about as porous as here in North America and there are possibly millions of Chinese who are sympathetic with the North...

“We should be prepared to do it right now,’’ Inhofe, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show’’ on Wednesday.
“In terms of the capability we have out there with the F-22s and the battleships … a pre-emptive strike from something like that would get their attention.’’
Inhofe went on to say that Kim Jong Un, unlike his father, was not a reliable actor that could be reasoned with. . .
North Korea about to stir the pot...
North Korea, which unleashed another round of scathing rhetoric accusing the United States of pushing the region to the "brink of war," could be planning a missile launch soon, a U.S. official said Thursday.
Communications intercepts in recent days indicated that Pyongyang could be planning to launch a mobile ballistic missile in the coming days or weeks, the official first told CNN. It's unknown whether it would be a test or a strike.

Guessing this is another test launch and saber-rattling, but it doesn't help the current situation.
Inhofe. He knows another war would send oil skyrocketing, and BigOil owns that mother er
North Korea seen moving mid-range missile to east coast: reports
SEOUL | Wed Apr 3, 2013 9:13pm EDT
(Reuters) -North Korea has moved what appears to be a mid-range Musudan missile to its east coast, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said on Thursday, quoting multiple government sources privy to intelligence from U.S. and South Korean authorities.
It was not clear if the missile was mounted with a warhead or whether the North was planning to fire it or was just putting it on display as a show of force, one South Korean government source was quoted as saying.
"South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities have obtained indications the North has moved an object that appears to be a mid-range missile to the east coast," the source said.
The Musudan missile is believed to have a range of 3,000 km (1,875 miles) or more, which would put all of South Korea and Japan in range and possibly also the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. North Korea is not believed to have tested these mid-range missiles, according to most independent experts.

Read more: http://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-mo...-business.htmlNorth Korea has asked embassies in Pyongyang that might wish to get staff out if there is a war to submit plans to it by April 10, Britain said on Friday, as it upped the pressure as part of a war of words that has set the Korean peninsula on edge.
Initial reports by Russia's Foreign Ministry and China's Xinhua news agency suggested that North Korea had suggested that embassies should consider closing because of the risk of conflict.
The request came amid a military buildup by the United States in South Korea following the North's warnings that war was inevitable due to U.N. sanctions imposed for a nuclear test and what it terms "hostile" U.S. troop drills with South Korea.
"We believe they have taken this step as part of their continuing rhetoric that the U.S. poses a threat to them," Britain's Foreign Office said in a statement after the reports from Russia and China.
So you're still predicting the pre-announced nuclear sneak attack from North Korea?
all this scathing rhetoric really gets dan going. War of words! Brinksmanship!
lol if taiwan returns and becomes a chinese state, does that mean the s has access to taiwan military hardware bought from americans?
South Korea Says North’s Missile Launch May Be Imminent
Read more: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/0...y-be-imminent/A top South Korean security official said Sunday that North Korea may test-launch a missile this week, as the United States delayed its own missile test due to soaring tensions on the peninsula.
Kim Jang-Soo, chief national security adviser to President Park Geun-Hye, said a test-launch or other provocation could come before or after Wednesday, the date by which the North has suggested that diplomats leave Pyongyang.
North Korea, incensed by UN sanctions following its nuclear and missile tests and by South Korean-US military drills, has issued a series of apocalyptic threats of nuclear war in recent weeks.
It has also reportedly loaded two medium-range missiles on mobile launchers and hidden them in underground facilities near its east coast, raising speculation it is preparing for a provocative launch.
N. Korea pulls workers out of Kaesong industrial zone
Read more: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp...222b6ca974f.81SEOUL — North Korea announced Monday it would pull all its 53,000 workers out of the Kaesong joint industrial zone with South Korea and suspend all commercial operations in the complex, blaming "military warmongers".
North Korea "will withdraw all its employees from the zone", Kim Yang-Gon, a senior ruling party official, said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
At the same time, Pyongyang "will temporarily suspend the operations in the zone and examine the issue of whether it will allow its existence or close it", Kim added.
Kim, who toured Kaesong Monday morning, said the action had been forced by "military warmongers" seeking to make Kaesong a point of confrontation amid escalating military tensions on the Korean peninsula.
"Nuclear missiles on standby... he's almost in range."
Place can't operate without the South Koren managers, so why have the workers there?
