| Lee Teng-hui's trip to Japan dealt a serious blow to the political foundation of China-Japan relations, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao said yesterday. "This deeply undermines our natural centuries-old enmity!" The 81-year-old former Taiwan leader arrived in Japan on Monday on a sightseeing visa. "A heretic - running loose! Can't you see how dangerous he is, you stupid fools?"
"We now have no choice but to annihilate you!" According to China News Service, Lee, the chief representative of the radical force for "Taiwan's independence" on the Taiwan Island, is also planning to visit Japan next year during the cherry blossom season. "This is incredible! You would violate the sanctity of our hatred for each other so an old man can see cherry blossoms? How low can you get?" It said that Japan is very likely to issue another visa. [Sound of revving engines...] Regardless of the repeated solemn representations and firm opposition by the Chines side, the Japanese Government issued a sightseeing visa for Lee Teng-hui to visit the country. "We solemnly offered you the opportunity to consider the long-term geopolitical ramifications of issuing this war-mongering sightseeing visa... You have caused us great loss of face. The harm is obviously irreparable. You will all die for this as just punishment!" China solemnly asked the Japanese side to consider the overall situation of China-Japan relations, and take effective measures to deal with the impact of the issue, said Liu. "How will we be able to show our diminished face in the UNSC after this! Taiwan, the US, even Russia will laugh at us! It is humiliating! It is a catastrophe! The Japanese must be made to pay dearly! Kill them! Kill them all! And wipe out those cherry trees while you're at it!" | |

| #3 Lee can get all the dim sum he wants at home, Frank. I'd prefer to think that his Japanese hosts are offering him a kaiseki ryori that includes fine sashimi and Kobe beef tenderloin. Just gotta love those high context societies. If China keeps up all this sabre rattling, Japan, Korea and Taiwan will all go nuclear and swiftly neuter Chinese dreams of domination. I'd love to see a mutual response pact (a la NATO) between America and these three small democracies. It's time for China to STFU. |
