China Says Taiwan Refuseniks are Threat to Regional Security

Forbes reports that Chinese officials claim Taiwan democracy is a regonal security threat.

General Xiong Guangkai, deputy chief of general staff with the People's Liberation Army, told a forum on Sino-US ties that Taiwan leaders' resistance to the 'one-China policy' could destabilize the region.

'The separatist attitude will pose a threat to the stability of the Asia- Pacific region,' Xiong said.

He singled out the Taiwan government's 'refusal to abandon its separatist timetable' as a key irritant in cross-strait and Sino-US relations.

In other news, a Nazi Party spokesman said today that Poland was a threat to Russian and German security......

Bha, can they really afford a massive lost of American dollars and Japanese Yens (plus probably some Euro) in investments?

Bha, I think that it would be wiser just to wait Taiwanese getting bored from their corrupted democracy and commit political suicide.
