This is another peg in the NIGHTMARE of the century that seems to be unfolding in front of us everyday! What if Taiwan declares independence? And China decides to attack as per its law.. so when US attempts to send its ships to help Taiwan… China simply retorts – "we will sell the dollars"!! And meanwhile of course, the Shia-Sunni fight picks up.. in Iraq.. Iran sides with Shias and countries from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan overtly or covertly help the Sunnis… guys, I dont know what you think.. but we are looking at a World War in a matter of just 2-4 YEARS!!
China’s state media on Tuesday called Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian’s scrapping of a body on reunification "provocative" and said the move marked a step toward independence that could endanger peace in the region.
Chen said on Monday the National Unification Council and 15-year-old symbolic guidelines on eventual unification had "ceased to function", but he also said that did not mean the self-ruled island would push for formal independence.
"His further escalation of secessionist activities will no doubt stoke tensions and trigger a serious crisis in the Straits," the state-run China Daily said in an editorial.
"Chen’s risky and provocative actions also threaten to destroy peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region," it said. link
