Eyefusion, I use wrong jargon " an invasion" suppose to be "an attack"..It is just my assumption. I have solid groud to predict that "why not it won't happen".. Our father hadn't thought America will ever go after Iraq and Afganisthan, when American was pretty much involved supporting either of those facist regime. we cannot avoid the fact America brought Saddam and Osama to the power. Now picture is totally different. Incase of China, inspite of both countries' diplomatic efforts to nullify the conflict, fact is they are foe. If war ever breakout the reason will be Taiwan - one and only reason. In many occasion China has urged that Chinese at any terms and condition will neither tolerate Taiwan independence activities nor will allow outside intervention. Here outsider is none other than US. Will US step out of the picture if Chinese approachs Taiwanese sovereignity ? US is well aware of Chinese military modernization, its 2 digits increment in defense spending and weaponary deals with Russian, which may results havoc to tiny land and US itself. US and other westerner intelligence doubted Chinese has sought relation with Iranian, may have energy deals in exchange of WMD. The consequences could be catastrophic. Don't you think? Seems to us, Chinese is out of scene from present power battle among the different countries but something, somewhere there is a consipiracy going on. Conclusion if war ever break out US will be doomed in the First Place.
