I dont understand WHY US is telling Taiwan to be on the DEFENSIVE when it is going around the world (Phillipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, ...) trying to eradicate people it labels as terrorists! When are the moronic and pathetic Taiwanese finally going to wakeup?!?! Its time to revamp Taiwans foreign policy... If Chinas intent is to coerce Taiwan into unification, lets make sure nobody wins by developing a nuclear arsenal.
