As many of you know, on March 14th. 2005 the 10th National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China passed the “Anti-Secession Law “.
This law, authorizes the PLA (People’s liberation army) to attack any part of China that declares Independence.
This is mainly focused on Taiwan, who seeks to officially declare Independence from Communist China.
America currently has a defense treaty with Taiwan, in witch it promises to defend Taiwan from aggressive action.
Will America honor this agreement, if China declares war on ROC?
If so, would this invoke NATO, as a member of it’s alliance is at war?
This is a serous question- if you can not refrain from childish remarks ‘D M’ please do not comment.
The PRC has repeatedly threatened to invade if Taiwan ever declares formal independence, and has sought to intimidate voters in Taiwan through activities such as test-firing missiles across Taiwan’s northern coast just before the 1996 elections and at times when subjects such as constitutional reform have been discussed.
The missiles exploded just 12 miles from Taiwan’s largest trading ports.
But what about countries that can not defend themselves, that are friendly to America and the West Bender?
We can’t just leave Taiwan to it’s fate- they need us, America just isn’t the type of nation to refuse to help those in need.
Besides, Taiwan is important to the regional sphear of influence- if China annexes Taiwan, Japan will no longer be the dominant Asian political power in Asia- Communist China will be.
This could be history repeating itself- it’s 1934 all over again, China is Germany and it wants to anax countries that where once part of China.
Taiwan, north Vietnam, Tibet- we can’t win though appeasement, Chamberlain taught us that.

Help-via protecting from a foreign military power- not solve it’s political structure.
China and Russia also Vetos anything America brings to the table, if it wasn’t for them Darfur would be taken care of.
America is only one country- it can’t solve every issue in the world on it’s own.

G.T.
Taiwan is internationally recognized as a legitimate, and independent nation by every country excluding China.
Where do you pull that it’s part of China?
Taiwan was once part of Nationalist China, but it dissolved, and what remained fled to Taiwan.
