Things could soon get a little hairy in China because of it’s relations with it’s renegade province. The commies stance on this issue is morally indefensible. They are clearly denying TW it’ democratic rights in trying to bullying them into even stopping a vote on the matter of independence, they deny TW the beifit of being a UN member and they go as far as to interfere with the WHO investiation of SARs there.
I can’t see them coming to blows over the issue, it seems to absurd to me. The logical thing would be to expand commercial contacts until goodwill develops between the too communities and TW comes naturally back into the fold. But i’ve been talking to xiao mei lately and he makes a good point. If theres one thing in international politics that the commies have always been firm about it’s that TW cannot become independant. It would be a massive loss of face if this were to happen. The commies would think that they would have to do something if they were to be taken seriously. God knows they would be fucked if they were to try and cross the straits, but they might be crazy enough to try. Look at Japan, they still havn’t apologsised for the rape of nan jing because of some face bullshit. Hopefully calmer heads will prevail.
