Title: china general warns u.s. about taiwan..
Post by: clips on July 15, 2005, 02:02:51 PM

pretty strong words. tho i think this guy was blowin alot of smoke as neither country really wants a showdown. there was an interesting tidbit about how china passed a law in march stating it could use "unpeaceful" means to get taiwan back...THAT might provoke a response...:ohnoes:

This is pretty freaky, I remember reading somewhere that if World War III were going to happen it would begin with Taiwan.

I think it was that time traveler guy.

Yup... one has to wonder why they can\'t just leave Taiwan alone. I know it\'s complicated and politics and all that, but damn... China is huge, they don\'t need Taiwan.

Gotta love the CIA factbook.  Sometimes I feel like a retard when it comes to countries and their past.

They don\'t need it but they want it.  And by they I mean their government.  This is what happens when you give so much power to a governing body of a handful of men.  They get full of themselves and start wanting more.
