Korea is an interesting wildcard in all this.  The same Sino-Japanese War that caused China to cede Taiwan to Japan also forced China to recognize Korean independence (an independence that lasted only until the Russo-Japanese War a decade later, but I digress).  I could actually see Kim Jong Il if he starts feeling betrayed by Beijing supporting the cause of Taiwanese independence.  Yes, he's a nutso, but he's a nutso with nuclear weapons.  Kim's unpredicatbility is yet another reason arguing against a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.  It's not impossible, but it's not happeneing any time soon.
