Taiwan Urges U.S. to Speak Against China Law

Story dated 25 January 2005

"The proposed anti-secession law is seen by analysts as a Chinese effort to head off a formal declaration of independence by the self-governing democratic island of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as a province." Quick history lesson. Japan legally controlled Taiwan until the end of WWII. Japan gave up control when military units of the Chinese Republic moved into the island to accept the surrender of Japanese Imperial forces. When the Communist tyrants seized control of mainland China, the Republican government escaped to Taiwan. Taiwan has never, I repeat never been under the control of the imperialist government currently occupying Beijing. Any declaration of independence would be an unnecessary restatement of the obvious -- to everyone but the schoolyard bullies in Beijing who can't stand the fact that people might actually want to do their own thing. "Senior U.S. officials privately describe the proposed law as a threat to regional peace but have said little in public." Well I should say so since we have a legal obligation to defend Taiwan if China attacks, as they are threatening to do. I believe the Chinese tyrants promised to "crush Taiwan with their military". I've said it before and I'll say it again, the free countries of the world need to stand up and tell China that imperialistic belligerence against free states will not be tolerated.
