whaaa?? so is this the latest diplomatic crisis? oh, boy.. I guess the Prez and hilary will be even more busy.. 
Actually, I read this in an article written in the December 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics where writer Erik Sofge imagines a scenario where China decides to invade Taiwan which would trigger a confrontation with the U.S. NAVY and Air Force but they could not prevent the occupation in time.
It's all very convincing and compelling where given China's current arsenal they could possibly defeat an approaching U.S. battle group in 3 attacks in 1 day; that would involve taking a U.S. Naval Carrier out of the fight and allowing China ample time to transport troops into Taiwan and secure the territory without a single shot fired.
How would you feel about that?
