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.
