China and Taiwan - Smoke to Fire?

Hearing so much yelling about Lebanon and Syria, North Korea, Iran. But the China/Taiwan situation is starting to make noise. This is something we should be worried about. With the amount of investment in both countries, and a strong interest in having them stay separate, I think this new law on Taiwanese secession should be an alarm.

I wonder if this is again the bluff and slap that Taiwan and China periodically play with respect to Taiwan's freedom. They've been free in reality for a long time, but they are still not recognized by many countries.

They also have a lot to lose if it comes to blows. Both sides are making big money off of their industrial/business ventures.

I also don't see the US actively putting on the gloves for Taiwan.
