Are you responding to someone in particular or is that apropos of nothing? |
Well, since the world at large seems to have forgotten exactly what the nature of the beast we're dealing with is, it seems appropriate to the nauture of this thread. I mean, it seems like most people here would gladly hand the PRC the keys to the executive suite among normalized nations in spite of its actions. The occupation of Tibet is accepted so quietly because governments bought into the idea that its the result of a 'popular uprising' within that nation, despite the Chinese fingerprints all over the crime scene. As far as the appropriateness of that line, lets look at history. The German motivation for invading Poland and the demands for the Sudetenland strike me as a direct parallel to this recent legislation by the PRC. Its nothing less than political justification for an invasion at any time they feel momentum is gaining for Taiwanese independence. Its appropriate because if the world is so deeply afraid of holding China accountable for its actions and desperate to give them whatever they want to get on their good side, the world might as well go the whole nine yards.
