That's why I don't expect a flight of capital from either China or the US any time soon. On Taiwan, funnily enough we have a guy from Taiwan staying with us right now, he's sleeping peacefully as I write. I met him through a friend of mine from Beijing. They get on fine. So will China and Taiwan long term. I don't see the issue here. Despite some heated rhetoric this is yesterday's problem. All the Taiwan chip-plants have already moved to China :). “China will be reluctant to kill the relation it depends on”

Except for vital interests. Vital in the eyes of China. So the US may have to sacrifice Taiwan. China will be reluctant to kill the relation it depends on. Except for vital interests.

It may decide to use more pressure to get its way on a broad range of issues, inclding Taiwan. And will any country be powerful enough to stop them? Jim Cramer, a well known US television stock market analyst, expects the worst from US dependence on China's buying US debt. I do too.
