So was Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. It is sad but true...alliances change depending on how much $$$ is involved. There's definitely more $$$ directly invested/waiting to be invested in China than in Taiwan. If you want proof, just look at how radically the US stance towards China has changed from the 1940s to Nixon's visit to Deng Xiaopeng's financial reforms to the US' military inaction during Tienanmen. Also compare how much direct US corporate investment got PUMPED into China before and after Tienanmen and compare their percentage growths with investments to Taiwan.
Out of political convenience, the Taiwan alliance will crumble cuz the US won't want to piss of its giant factory...called CHINA.
