Beware of any "event" in the straits, world. I'm smelling a FALSE-FLAG if there are!
"China, Taiwan look toward nurturing closer relations; They are holding the highest-level talks since 1999" by Edward Wong and Alan Cowell, New York Times News Service | June 13, 2008
BEIJING - .... The Chinese government maintains ballistic missiles pointed at Taiwan, occasionally lobbing some into the 100-mile-wide Taiwan Strait.
How many missiles has the U.S. lobbed into Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, awww, never mind.
You get my point, readers.
Ma said last week in an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper, that China would have to remove the ballistic missiles aimed at Taiwan as a precondition for real peace talks...."
Then this article was just a bunch of feel-good horseshit from the NYT, huh?
