High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions

Andy Tai writes "This San Jose Mercury News story shows high tech companies in the Silicon Valley worry about a possible war between mainland China and Taiwan. Both play important roles in the computer industry and the U.S. depends on both to finance the federal budget deficits. Many businessmen hope that economic considerations will prevent both sides from marching down a self-destructive path."

    Ok. I just did.

    Taiwan is not an independent nation. Even USA does not recognize her. What purpose does the latest referendum serve? It's nothing but a provocation.

    There will ne no Taiwan China war. At least no longer than 72 hours. Without US direct militar support China will asume control of Taiwan in less than 72h from the start of invasion.

    Well I'm not really commiting a crime in the USA.

    See... I'm just "disagreeing with the administration"

    Not "disagreeing with the administration while being Muslim/Arabic."

    One of those will get you a ticket to Cuba.

    There's a difference.
