Taiwan Anti-sessesion Law
Tuesday, March 8, 2005-4:08 PM
Dude, if I were Chen Shui-Bian, and my advisors just told me that Beijing was about to pass legislation permitting a military response to any move by Taiwan towards independence, I'd be like, "What the ----, Hu Jintao?"
Isn't this the same political rhetoric we've been hearing since 1949? For crying outloud, over 50 years.
What are you gonna do, Hu, after you've destroyed part of China with half the unemployment of that on the mainland and ten times fewer people living under the povery line? Apply you're brilliant economic policies that are only starting to get traction in your own country? Please.
Wen Jiabao, could you talk some sense into Hu and, while you're at it address the People's National Congress and tell them what an incredibly misguided exercise this is?
I haven't even mentioned the U.S. who is gonna be absolutely pissed because they, despite their support of the One China Policy are gonna have to stand by the tiny renegade province in case of attack.
Don't get me wrong. There will be no beatification ceremony for Chen Shui-bian anytime soon. Even some of those sympathetic to him might find his push for a referendum on a new constitution for Taiwan too provocative.
But a referendum, that's one thing. Military action? Come on.
