Wow, that sucks.  I think that it is primarily posturing, although having military ships on maneuvers does seem to indicate that Taiwan is seriously pissed.  However, Taiwan depends heavily on their exporting of manufacturing goods and I don't think limiting trade would be a viable option at this time.  Hope things get resolved soon.

Hardly surprising. The squabble over the Spratlys and Paracels is kinda eternal

And we have around 90,000 factory workers there mostly in the electronics industry... if they send them all home, I think they too will suffer...

Not the first on that one, Vivo, and probably not the last. Poor sucker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
