Imperialist China Brazenly and Publicly Threatens to Employ its Military to Crush Taiwan

Story dated 26 December 2004

"Should the Taiwan authorities go so far as to make a reckless attempt that constitutes a major incident of 'Taiwan independence', the Chinese people and armed forces will resolutely and thoroughly crush it at any cost," stated the Chinese government in a defense white paper. Taiwan is a sovereign nation. Its citizens are free to determine their own course in life. Why should it concern China if Taiwan, a sovereign nation, should simply state the legal reality that it is free? Note to China (again): Grow up you spoiled brats. Only juvenile bullies seek to oppress others. Such people do this because they are so insecure with themselves that they have to constantly reinforce their self-image by interfering with the freedom of others. If the United Nations really cared about liberty and human rights, such a statement by China should cause the body to call for an international economic boycott of all Chinese goods by all United Nations members. It is unacceptable for the body to tolerate a non-humanitarian, or non-defense, invasion of a sovereign republic that respects the rights of its citizens. If Kofi Annan wanted to try to salvage his undeserved reputation in the international community, he would call for a boycott of China. I have not listened to the O'Reilly Factor lately, but if Bill O'Reilly isn't calling for a boycott of Chinese goods, he ought to. The world community is showing itself to be hypocritical if it continues to ignore China's imperialist designs on the free republic of Taiwan -- imagine if the US announced plans to annex Cuba. In fact, if Bush were a real maverick, he would announce plans to annex Cuba, using the same language that China is using regarding Taiwan. After world denunciation of the United States acquired a sufficiently strong tone, Bush would then make another speech announcing that there never were plans to annex Cuba, that we had made the announcement to make a point about the China-Taiwan situation.
