I really don't think China would nuke Taiwan to get it back as it would defeat the purpose. Plus I think they would prefer to avoid war not the same leader as it used to have. Hong Kong isn't doing to bad still as quite a bit of freedom considering it is now a part of China. China probably does not want to mess around to much with Hong Kong as it is an economic powerhouse in the region.

You have an agreement with Taiwan so you should keep it. Yes, the consequences would be too terrible if there was a war. Think of the opportunistic terrorist and North Korea taking advantage of a war between China and the US, to invade South Korea. Eventually the whole world would get dragged into a war weather they wanted to be involved in the US China thing. Very Bad!!! This is were diplomacy must rule out or we will be faced with WWIII.

Wether you think China would nuke Taiwan rather than loose it....You do know that in the 1960's China let 20 MILLION people die of starvation rather than ask for outside help? (had a huge fammine) Do you really think people with that kind of mindset would think twice about Nuking Taiwan before allowing it to become independant? Would you bet your mothers life on it? or your own?

I didn't say Hong Kong was doing badly...or well for that matter I said that they are not living in the land they were promised by Chinese leaders...and from what I have read written by people who lived there before and after....Hong Kong is not a very happy place these days...or a very free one.
