China: War Over Handshake?
After US President George W. Bush shooks hands with Taiwanese representative Joseph Wu during a commemoration for victims of Communism in Washington DC, “Chinese government leaders threatened to plan new war games and heighten military readiness in anticipation of any attempt by the U.S. to defend Taiwan should a Chinese invasion occur, or simply if Taiwan declares its independence” (src).
The current state of political affairs between the two contentious “Chinese governments” is an uneasy truce across the straits. The PRC and KMT both assert legitmate control over China, Taiwan, Mongolia, and Myanmar, and are expected to use no force against each other. However, if peaceful reunification fails, there will definitely be an international disaster.
