So war is actually good for economy. Provided you are not fighting in ur own country. Should China go to war with Taiwan, the ones that will benefit most will be the Taiwanese themselves. Let's now look at the 4 Tigers of Asia ; S.Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. No question that they've had better days b4 than now. Now now with the price of oil being so high, making production, topped up with inflation in their respective countries, lag and thus disrupting their economy. There is a myth that I recently heard,stating that Hong Kong was lagging in consumer spending due to uncertainties of the Iraq war and high costs of living. Mr. Tung made a call to China to address this problem, and would you believe it, China approved 1,000,000 visas to the Chinese ppl to go over to HK to travel over the weekend.These visas are hard to get, and imagine that if you have this chance, of cuz you will spend like Dao Ming Sze (Meteor Garden - I DUN WATCH IT!!). Imagine,if 1,000,000 ppl spend AT LEAST HKD$1,000, ammasSing a sales turnover of HKD$1 bil. THATS THE POWER THAT CHINA HAS TO JUMPSTART A LAGGING ECONOMY. And Taiwan's economy will definitely benefit from it.<br /><br />This is of course, an economic view only.<br /><br />I have more stories of China and Taiwan coming soon. :)Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554376809615663158noreply@blogger.com
