There's Taiwan's revanchist president, Ma Ying-jeou, still trying to stir the pot. Not for him, the blessings of peace. Or a once-a-year attempt to join the U.N.
Instead, a once-a-year provocation of Japan (almost like clockwork) over a few specks in the ocean is more his style.
Funny though, how we never hear of Taiwanese fishing boats trying to lay claim to islands owned by the P.R.C. No, just Japan. That, despite the Chinese Nationalist Party's insistence that ALL of China belongs to the R.O.C…
Why is that, I wonder?
Boom! Your excellent post nailed it. Hearty thumbs up.
With Taiwan’s second-handsomest man in the presidency, the country’s in good hands. Because situations like this have NEVER been known to spiral out of control…
On second thought, scratch that:
