| China threatens invasion |
| 2005-03-09 |
| CHINA increased regional tensions yesterday when the annual parliament in Beijing tabled an anti-secessionist Bill that explicitly threatens the invasion of Taiwan if the island declares independence. Any such move by Taiwan will trigger "non-peaceful means and other necessary measures to protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity", Wang Zhaoguo, a senior legislator, told the National People's Congress. Snip In another move, Beijing suggested that Australia review its Anzus alliance with the US, under which it could agree to support American action in defence of Taiwan. Alexander Downer, the Australian Foreign Minister, said that there were no plans to modify the alliance. add Japan to that new alliance a$$holes Rest at link. |

| #6 Like someone said the other day, the Chicoms are doing the Sun Tzu thing. The thing that is screwy is that with lots of trade ties between the mainland and Taiwan, the Chicoms could have Taiwan by the balls in, say, 20 years without a shot fired. So it must be that the Chicoms are schitzo. The newer leaders are doing their thing to modernize and take over by non violent means and the PLA brass are doing the ranting Mao thing, which has to do with disasters, Sea of Fire, dogs and cats living together, etc etc. Also, they like the intimidation thing, like they were trying with the Anzus treaty members the other day. |
