Taiwan was the bastion of Chang Kiasheck (SIC) during WWII as the American backed Chinese Govt. a Democratic Country. It does stick in their Craw that They dont have it. China sells more Buicks that the US does and have 4-5 plants there.
China is one of the Main Communist inspired Countrys along with Cuba and North Korea. They are not giving up on the rule by the few but are working to take over many things by buying them. UNOCAL? Oil Company and IBM, ETAL.
Now, maybe what Russ was refering to, was the rise of Nuculear capability?
The main ones there are N. Korea, India, Pakasatan, and of course China. Throw in Iran for a bit of spice.
Remeber, Communist Countrys want to control. Look at what happened to the USSR when it finally gave up the countrys it held in the fold of servitude. Now a like of hell has broken out with the new self Governed Countrys selling weapons to third world countys and terrorists.
Some may agrue that the US is doing the same thing but, that is saying We want to spread Democracy I guess.
