If you really think about it, the Kymco is ASSEMBLED in Taiwan from a lot of parts made in (ya, you guessed it) China. Only a few of the parts are actually made in Taiwan. Besides, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being Italian scoots, the Kymco is a 6 or 7 right after the Chinese scoots.
IMO of course. |

Correct, until Taiwan is swallowed up by mainland China again! All it will take is for the Chinese navy to station some submarines in the waters between China and Taiwan and keep the US navy from protecting Taiwan. Then all hell will break loose ans it will be another Tibet.
Meantime, I'll move this thread! :wink: |

The Chinese subs are no match for our Navy but....
With our Army and Marines stretched to the limit in Iraq and the other existing commitments we could do little about a Chinese take-over of Taiwan aside from a couple of carrier groups launching punishing air-strikes on them, but then again I don't think we have enough conventional bombs assembled to keep up an air campaign. China is a big place. Besides, if Chinese economy were to fail, we would all fail. The tycoons have made it so that a global conflagration would be economically unviable .
We could cut off their oil by nuking Iran..... Nahhh! That won't happen. China owns us. |

Well, they are no match for your subs but they are indeed a match for your Navy. There isn't a carrier group in the world which will stand up to nuclear tipped torpedoes, which the Chinese undoubtedly have. It just needs a couple of their subs stationed at each end of the waters between Taiwan and Mainland China, and the US navy won't venture in. |

Ahhh..... Tactics!
The Chinese would never nuke our ships because there would be a rain of ruin like no one has ever seen dropped on them from orbit. We rule the skies, period.... We would nuke them into the stone age. :wink: |

We got 48% of the worlds nukes. Russia has 49% the remaining 2% are unconfirmed In Isreal and France. India and Pakistan has 2 each and China has about a half dozen.
Iran probably has one, and they're currently building up a 2nd for the underground test. ;)
N Korea already detonated the only 4kT nuclear flop they had. :? |

Quiet Life!? If I remember right, it wasn't so long ago when Britain was the worlds leading exporter of "Do as we say or else!"... |
