Anyone else here believe that Taiwan has been studying the International reaction to the Kosovo move, with possible intention of using it as an excuse to declare their own independance? Just a thought... I know the Taiwan issue has been beaten to death over the coals, but I found it interesting that Taiwan so quickly recognized Kosovo. It put China in a very bad place as they are forced to either give Kosovo to Taiwan, allowing Taiwan to reap the untold diplomatic benefits of supporting the new country, or they have to recognize Kosovo themselves to take the stage from Taiwan, therefore going against their own party line against states declaring independance, thus possibly allowing Taiwan to use the contradiction as an excuse to declare. What do you think?
