I don't think that American writers need any encouragement to say the things that their readers want to see. It's like how you can constantly find articles about how Taiwan needs to get more drones without the realizations that all drone parts come from China.


I'm not sure why this particular mindworm keeps persisting. Why do people think that China is going to keep playing nice even after Beijing decides that it's going to have to be a shooting war?

In the next breath they'll joke about how majority of the top 10 most deadly wars in human history are Chinese civil wars.

The 79 year old got out of his retirement home to write up this article. Sounds more like someone is smoothing the discontent over the Iranian affair.

DENNIS BLAIR was Commander in Chief of U.S. Pacific Command from 1999 to 2002 and Director of National Intelligence from 2009 to 2010. From 2003 to 2007, he was Senior Mentor for Taiwan’s annual self-defense exercise.

Hmm, I guess this guy forgot how that turned out for the Boxers.

PENGHU, Taiwan, June 29 (Reuters) - When Yeh Chih-sheng steps aboard Taiwan Coast Guard vessel CG1005 in the choppy waters of the Taiwan Strait, he brings more than his ‌uniform and orders: he also has temple charms blessed by the gods revered by fishermen for protection at sea. Yeh is first mate of the 2,400-ton ship based in Taiwan's Penghu islands, and part of Taipei's maritime frontline as China asserts its claim of sovereignty over the democratically governed island.

Temple established by local Penghu branch of Fujian Fleet of the Green Standard Army of Qing, built in 35th year of Kangxi's reign. Worships:
1. Yu the Engineer
2. Wu Zixu of Kingdom of Wu, from Spring and Autumn period
3. Qu Yuan of Chu, you know the zongzi and dragon boat guy
4. Xiang Yu, Hegemony King of Western Chu
5. Lu Ban, legendary carpenter, architect, structural engineer and inventor during the Spring and Autumn period

I'm pretty sure none of them would approve of separatism.
