I’ve been remiss in announcing this week’s results from the Watchers Council Vote, perhaps because I was throwing a tantrum over the fact that newbie Glittering Eye wrote a much better post than I did and deserved to win in the Council category. Entitled “China’s Time Bombs,” the post reveals some very interesting information about China’s growing environmental problems.
And continuing with the Chinese theme, The Redhunter brings us “War with China: 2008-2012” which won in the non-Council category. The post draws the same conclusions we did about Chinese intentions toward Taipei; the Chicoms seem to have just about run out of patience and are gearing up for war. While 2008 seems to me a long way off and Beijing may be waiting until we’re engaged somewhere else (Iran? North Korea?), that date would make a lot of sense. The Chinese naval expansion would have been completed in 2007 which would give them the amphib capability to attack and quickly overrun the island.
China will bear watching over the next few years.
