"U.S. support for non-Communist China and Chiang Kai Shek created the “
Taiwan Issue”
to be discussed later." p. 20.
"So today, China’s economy, having grown dependent on near infinite cheap
labor, is a juggernaut export based economy that has also created many
offsetting challenges. The labor force is reaching its limits, and therefore
is reaching for higher wages. For the first time in its long history,
China expects to have a majority urban population in the next five years.
These burgeoning cities are hard to govern, and will change the economic and
political dynamic within the country. Their environment could become a
limiting factor in their progress: nearly all Chinese cities face severe
water shortages and serious water pollution, and industrial air pollution
has become a significant health hazard. China is the world’s number one
energy consumer and emitter of industrial carbon dioxide pollution, and
pollution abatement cannot keep pace with growth." p. 20.

(b) Please read--in the section of Executive Summary--Recommendations 2 and
3 (p. 10), which are elaborated in pp. 24 and 25.
Recommendation 2: "We Sgould take a fresh look at Taiwan. The United States
taks a somewhat protectionist stance with Taiwan hiostorically. However,
Taiwan is now an economically successful democratic institution that is
slowly tending toward greater alignment with the Mainland. Our involvement
with Taiwan is a frequent point of contention with the Chinese, particularly
in respect to arms sale, and one that should be re-examined. The complex
relationship is political and should be re-examined outside a military
context.

My comment: Beside mentioning the above report, the article says, "Another
leaked cable quoted the BHP Billiton chief, Marius Kloppers, telling the
American consul-general in Melbourne that the government had a ''real fear''
of Beijing gaining control of Australian resources.
