Now comes word in the Japanese press in Sankei News to be exact, in just the last 90 minutes, that a Major General (羅援少将 to be exact) of a hardline faction in the Chinese People's Liberation Army has given a talk at an event in Beijing, here he calls Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeoh to task and says that "peace will break down" between Taiwan and Mainland China if it insists on the status quo of the "Threes". a) Will not go independent, b) Will not reunited with the Mainland, c) Will not resolve (matters) through military means.

This is essentially a war threat, and the Japanese article says talk like this is rare.

Really great going, Obama. Brilliant.
