Great analysis, Diane. Thank you. The best weapon the West has to stifle Chinese ambitions is economic. And we in the West must be willing to sacrifice some from our own economies by strangling the Chinese one. Its the only real leverage we have, but at a cost.
Actually, you have just confirmed why China WILL take Taiwan militarily if necessary. Semiconductor technology.

Globalization . . . Such a sexy word 30 years ago when China was a third world Country . . .
Today Chinese 'Cheap Labor' rules the World Economy.
We other 19 members of the G-20 have let this happen.
China buys and processes 30% of Global Commodities.
Environmentalism in the West made that a reality . . . We cleaned up our 'back yards'.
We will have to spend trillions of $ . . . IF . . . we want to regain control of our economies again.
Saber rattling is NOT an option !
