There was a report from CNN that said analyst believed the China, Taiwan war will be in 2006 or end by 2006. The reason given is that this will give China enough time to clear up the after war mess & resume preparations for the 2008 Olympics.
Anyway, as long as its not China that fires the first shot, its not likely that the U.S will support Taiwan. U.S as no intension of escalating the situation as theres nothing to gain from such a WAR. That is why the U.S foreign office has informed Taiwan's government to cool it on drumming on the issue that the U.S would support it in a war with China. Should Taiwan start the war, then its likely that Taiwan will be on its own.
U.S does not view China as Saddam or OBL & Taiwan as Kuwait. Creating a war has no benifits to the U.S or the rest of the world except maybe N.Korea. And Taiwa's got no reason to justify its calls for war as China is not oppressing it.
Hahahaha... just because of the 2008 Olympic they won't fight before that.
BTW, I don't think they will ever start war againt each other.
