Preparing a test for Obama... ?

Many Taiwanese still have hard feelings about the “takeover” of Taiwan by Mainland Chinese in 1949.
They also fear the same thing will happen again, this time with the Chinese Communists taking them over with the excuse of “uniting the motherland.”
That was the commie envoy?!? 2 things I noticed: where are his “bodyguards”? and the pro-independence dude who did a Michael Jackson on top of his car. Great vid.
Be that as it may, this was a really dumb move. Some day, such a move could be used as a pretext by Red China to launch the assault on Taiwan.
If Red China is ever going to take over Taiwan, 3 months after the inauguration of Barack Obama would be the time to do it.
If Obama gets elected, it will bring about very dangerous times.
ping.
Only if its a test of loyalty. Obamas Communist ties in Chicago are backed by China not Russians.
Hmmmmm
Beijing’s response should be interesting.
I saw the photos. It was intense.:-)

Has anyone heard anything about a plane carrying some Chinese officials going down in the Taiwan Strait over the past week?
I’ve heard it by word of mouth, but don’t see it in Google or Yahoo.
