Summary: Assuming China's international economic and political power continue to grow it will become a global power before the end of the 21st century and it will likely have commensurate military capabilities. This book looks at the circumstances in which the USA could be drawn into war with China. The cause would be Taiwan and the possibility that China despite having very close economic and social ties with Taiwan may seek to re-exert its authority by force. The book provides an overview of Taiwan's history, how its anomalous position arose, and why its future is inextricably linked in a three way relationship involving itself China and the USA.
