7. Let me clarify

I don't like the Chinese government. I don't like the Chinese communists. I don't like what they did under Mao, and they've only slightly improved over that with Deng Xiaoping and the modern China. I would undoubtedly support a democratic regime over an authoritarian, one-party communist state. My sympathies lie with the Taiwanese people, and indeed the Chinese people (when they decide to exercise their sovereignty and overthrow the rulers who abuse them).

But, ultimately...that's a spat between different Chinese people. Not our problem, and certainly not worth a war between two superpowers.
