China is really becoming fragmented. This is what will eventually lead to them trying to take Taiwan. They'll try to unite the country against a "common" cause/enemy (Taiwan/USA).

Don't forget about Japan; they'll be eager to bomb their country into rubble.

China eager to bomb Japan into rubble? Yes, I do believe you're correct about that, but they want Taiwan first and foremost. Taiwan is the thorn in China's side. It's the ONE country that makes China appear to be weak and ineffective. Just think.... they couldn't (didn't), when they really had the chance in 1949, take a little Island off their coast and instead allowed the formation of a democracy. The Chinese have long memories.... they haven't forgotten what Japan did to them in WWII and they haven't forgotten that they "lost" Taiwan to the West. It's got to be bugging them to death!
