Taiwan is wrong

Kenneth Lieberthal, a Sinologist at the University of Michigan, said Taiwan is wrong when it assumes Beijing is "all bluff when it talks about the use of force."

"The second assumption is: if the first assumption is wrong, then Chen nevertheless has a military blank check from the United States...I believe both assumptions are wrong," he said.

Sinologist with a capital "S"? I don't think so. Otherwise, I agree.
