The 21st century is an era of freedom and democracy. This global trend cannot be stopped by any nuclear weapon, submarine, or missiles. Those who go along will prosper, but those who resist will be doomed. China proclaims itself to be a responsible big nation, thus it should not concentrate on expanding its military might. A free and democratic Taiwan is the nation most capable of leading China to democratization, and further prod China to push North Korea toward democratization.
