Retiredbum notes:

Although I've read the original version of the article long before I received it from different sources twice yesterday, still I read it again.  I think it is high time I share it with all of you guys.

Basically, I agree with an American point of view on subject issue which is regarding the Sino-America rivalry on Taiwan's future; however, I think the author is of somewhat optimistic that the doomsday for Taiwan will be decade(s) away.  Well, I reckon the showdown date will be much earlier; say, five years to ten years from now.
