In desert storm most of the Iraqi equipment was actually purchased from China, and it is well known that the Chinese brass were truly shaken at how badly it performed. Saying there is a military buildup is not really correct...China has no offensive military capability and is just now working on establishing a defensive capability.

Taiwan is not that far from China at all.
"Taiwan is situated in the Pacific Ocean about 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the southeastern coast of the Chinese mainland. Located about midway between Korea and Japan to the north and Hong Kong and the Philippines to the south, Taiwan is a natural gateway for travelers to Asia."
China could easily attack Taiwan but not take on the US, they are not stupid and they will only attack if they are 100% sure. Pretty sure they will use economic power to gain Taiwan instead of military power.....
