Having failed to enlist America in its attempts to stop Taiwan from abolishing a council with a $30 a year annual budget, China yesterday desperately appealed to the mighty UN for help from this insidious threat to its very existence:
Watch your step, Taiwan! Maybe we’ll expel you from the Security Council!
(Sorry fellas. Already been done.)
OK then, maybe we’ll just have to reject your bid for a seat in the General Assembly!
(Nope, won’t work either. That happens EVERY year.)
Uhhh, suppose we COULD put your World Health Organization application on the back burner…
(Pfft. Like it was ever on the fast track?)
OK, think, people, think! Abolishing councils that’ve been defunct for seven years is almost as serious as the publication of cartoons, and we all know what Kofi thought about THAT. Taiwan simply must be made to face the music!
(Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose…)
