The PRC has H-bombs, OBL doesn't. The PRC cannot ignore the "threat" that democratic Taiwan poses to them. They cannot ignore Taiwan because the average Chinese knows that the people are free and prosperous - while on the Mainland the people are ruled with an iron fist and are not nearly so well off materially per capita. The PRC propagandists cannot satisfactorily explain why two nations with a common background of language, culture, and even to some extent, geography, operate and perform so differently. Taiwan is the Achilles heel of China because the 1.3 billion Chinese on the Mainland will eventually revolt from PRC tyranny as a result of this pack of lies! The PRC, like all other Communist liars before them, cannot overcome this obvious disparity, and thus, to ensure their own survival, they know that they must destroy or intimidate Taiwan into oblivion. In effect the PRC has been, is, and will be just as barbarous as the ancient invaders discussed in this article. Based on what I read, I predict that all hell will break loose when they attack Taiwan - and I fear that that will happen soon - while the US is tied up in Iraq. We're pulling troops out of South Korea to send to Iraq. About the time we've committed all our reserves to Iraq, I believe that the PRC will strike Taiwan - ruthlessly. If and when they do, then tell me who is civilized and who is the barbarian!
