Each of what I've said... both of which are acts of war. Now historically, weak neutral nations have ignored their merchant marine being boarded and seized by a blockading force (an example of this is the Dutch during the wars between the French and the British)... however the United States has a history of supporting Taiwan, and a naval power greater than everyone else in the world... combined.

This has been debated to death on DT. There are enough people who don't like me on this board that I don't want to actually go through with it again on this thread.

Alright, I'm just saying that China doesn't have the legs to dominate the air over Taiwan... contest it, certainly... complete aerial dominance is pretty clearly beyond them.
