What China says is one thing, what it does (or doesn't do) is quite another. China is playing a deep game. Unlike us, it doesn't allow its foreign policies to be driven by the remote possibility of nukes killing a few million of their people. I agree it's about Taiwan but not just Taiwan. China wants to see us withdraw entirely from the Western Pacific. The Bush Administration seems clueless about what's really happening. Maybe there are people in Defense or State who see what's happening, but they sure don't have the ear of the powers that be.
