More Chinese Saber Rattling
In a move that shouldn't surprise anyone, China has made further noises about Taiwan. Japan and Australia are waffling over their proper rolls, both our 'allies', but apparently fear that a US lead spanking of China would damage regional stability. They do have a point, but would the current government be left intact after a war with the US? Somehow I doubt it. Russia and Taiwan, each dealing with restive sections are not surprisingly calling this "an internal matter" for China. Bush and company are "viewing with alarm". This on top of their insistence on a One China policy as fact just a few days ago.
