Channelnewsasia.com: Taiwan's Chen refuses to rule out reunification with China

In a pre-emptive warning ahead of Chen's inauguration, China Monday vowed to "crush" Taiwanese independence moves "at any cost."

Taiwan's leaders must choose between recognising the island as part of the mainland or "following their separatist agenda to cut Taiwan from the rest of China and, in the end, meet their own destruction by playing with fire," Beijing said.

If this is the not international equivalent of "Shut the fuck up and sit down bitch before I beat you into the wall" then I don't know what is. Wow...China man. The largest country on Earth. Largest army. Largest population. In 20 years, largest economy as well...and then it will triple in size. Nuclear power. Space power. China. The world is beautiful
