| China never allows Taiwan independence |
| 2004-04-14 |
| Xinhuanet -- China is willing to exert the utmost sincerity and the utmost efforts to realize peaceful reunification, but does not allow anybody to separate Taiwan from the motherland in any form, said a Chinese military leader here Wednesday. "The Taiwan issue concerns the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China, and is related to Sino-US relations and peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region as well," he said. Jiang Zemin, chairman of the Central Military Commission, told visiting US Vice President Dick Cheney, that he hopes that the U.S.could adhere to its commitment on the Taiwan issue, and not to send wrong signals to the "Taiwan Independence" forces. "Sino-US ties will have more room for development if the Taiwan issue is well handled," he said. (cont.) What will these promised "developments" be if we hand over the world’s eighteenth largest economy to be brutally raped into oblivion by Chinese kleptocrats? Are they going to reduce their US$ 127 BILLION trade deficit with America? Are they going to do something about the world’s largest medically caused AIDS crisis within their borders? Will they let Hong Kong have the democratic reforms they promised during the hand over? Are they going to stop the cultural genocide in Tibet? Will they actually haul off and kick North Korea’s belligerent @ss for destabilizing the entire north Asian quadrant? China has about as much credibility as Iran. They really need to slapped down hard with some major trade sanctions. China is one massive black hole of intellectual property theft and copyright violations. We need to sell over-the-horizon radar and Aegis fire control systems to Taiwan in sufficient quantity to repulse a 1,000 Chinese missiles. |

| #1 Taiwan is already de facto separate from the Mainland - only sentimental ties (and trade) exist. We really need to publicly declare the weakness of a "Great Nation" like China fixating on a small island nation like Taiwan - then sell the Taiwanese anything they need for defense. The recent Chinese history of actions in Hong Kong, their pet Rottweiler in NK and the downing of our surveillance plane in international waters, along with their assistance to Saddam owe a response. |
