i think china is torn because they see the necessity of being involved in the global economic community, but they want to remain socially closed. so they will sabre rattle to keep up appearances, but going to battle is extremely unlikely.

hong kong was a lease - a legal contract - how could we, or anyone else dispute that.

taiwan - not a lease. they are chinese who are proud of chinese but refuse to fall under the communist system.

do you really believe that Bushco couldn't fire up the American people over a good old fashioned US vs. the Commies conflict? I think the average american ( does not mean socially, fiscally, or politically astute) would welcome the idea. A real enemy? with an army? and planes? and uniforms? not vague muslim tribes? where do we sign up?
