China Fantasizing Again: US, Japan may not include Taiwan in any Security Alliance, heh.
Lol. I love the ChiComs. They make the MMs and Chavez look almost normal, at times.China will not tolerate the US and Japan including Taiwan in a security alliance, Chinese foreign minister Li Zhaoxing has said. Heh. Speaking to reporters at the annual National People's Congress, Mr Li said any co-operation between the three would encroach on China's sovereignty. China sees Taiwan as its territory, and says it is committed to reunification. Somebody's stealing memos from their "IN" box. They still don't realize Taiwan is like a country thingy, democratic, successful, dynamic... all those things the ChiComs aren't. In spades. Mr Li also called for an end to the EU's arms embargo, but said China did not need to buy any of its weapons. Mr Li said the embargo should be lifted primarily because it was a jarring note in the partnership between the Beijing and the EU. We don't want them, but yeah, the embargo's like a really bad idea, y'know? Jarring and everything. Controversial law The relationship between the US, Japan and Taiwan should be "strictly restricted to a bilateral nature", Mr Li said. "Any practice of putting Taiwan directly or indirectly into the scope of Japan-US security co-operation constitutes an encroachment on China's sovereignty and interference in China's internal affairs," he said. "The Chinese government and people are firmly against such activities." Heh. So good of them to stipulate the limits of US Foreign Policy. Thanks. Noted. US and Japanese officials said last month that the peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue was a common strategic objective - a move that angered China. They're also cheesed off by almost everything else that happens on the planet, too. I'm thinking Anger Management, perhaps? The annual Congress meeting is due to approve a controversial "anti-secession" law on Tuesday, which would not allow Taiwan to separate from China. The legislation has been criticised by Taiwanese politicians who say it will set out a legal basis for a possible Chinese invasion of the island, and tens of thousands of people have been protesting in Taiwan against the law. China has insisted that the law is aimed at moving towards a peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but it regularly threatens to use force if Taiwan declares independence. Yewbetcha.
