Though by now, I believe there has been much genetic admixture and you wouldn't find any 'pure' Taiwanese aborigines. Also, I thought Europeans were the first to really play an active colonial presence on the island? As for who has a 'right' to the island, I don't have any opinion beyond the people already living there... much like in the US, I sympathize with the indigenous population, but what's done is done. I do think, from my outside perspective, it should remain its own country and drop the Chinese rhetoric. |

Actually, the problem of Chinese regionalism could be potentially rather serious if dealt with improperly. I think that it is a mistake to think of China in monolithic terms, that is, to try to get everyone in the country to conform at all costs. If policymakers don't recognize differences and give leeway where leeway is due, there will be blowback. Things like banning Cantonese from TV is Guangdong is just asking for trouble.

Useless in the deepness of the mountains.
You know if that hole is an actual hole or a dummy? Conventional MAD at its finest. Northern Korea practically fed the Japanese war machine, and it's still feeding the KPA. Lots of resources up there. Korean tanks from both sides are designed to fight in the rugged terrain. SA-18/16s. This is why having unknowledgeable civilians discuss war is pointless. |

Nothing was ever easy in Korea. But I wonder what differences there will be if China does not help in a ground war, should one happen, like they did in the 50's.
The maps I recall show the North Koreans gaining massive amounts of ground until the US/UN forces could stage landing and then push them all the way to the Chinese border when the Communist started swamping the UN forces with Unlimited Manpower.
