World Stability:  China To U.S.-"Taiwan Is Ours"

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-china-us,0,4118929.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines


"China's No. 2 leader warned visiting U.S. senators Monday that the Beijing 
government would never allow Taiwan to be independent, state television 
reported."

"Wu Bangguo, who is chairman of China's legislature, said the Taiwan 
question is the most sensitive issue in U.S.-China relations, the report said."

"He said Washington must abide by the one-China policy, which opposes 
formal independence for the self-ruled island, it added."

"His comments followed a telephone conversation between President Hu Jintao 
and President Bush Friday in which the Chinese leader voiced Beijing's 
strong opposition to American weapon sales to Taiwan."

"Taiwan is considering a plan to spend $18 billion on anti-missile systems, 
planes and submarines from the United States -- drawing howls of protest 
from Beijing."

"The United States has no official relations with Taiwan's democratically 
elected government but has strong unofficial ties and is the island's top 
arms provider."

"Wu also told the senators that China's growing relationship with the 
United States was in the interests of the people of both countries as well 
as the stability of the world, the report on China Central Television said."


Wow, you can see this one coming a mile off...  hehe.....

I can see it now, "Made In Chaiwan".

"The stability of the world."  I like that phrase, hehe...

I'm glad so many interesting people are so concerned with it.
