And China Keeps Building More "Cars"

China compares its policy of absorbing Taiwan to a car hitting a pedestrian:

Attempts to block Beijing's goal of bringing Taiwan under its control are like "stretching out an arm to block a car," China said in its latest rhetorical broadside against the self-governing island republic's independence-minded president.

When they're right, they're right. Bringing Taiwan under China's control truly would kill or cripple Taiwan.

But I'm not sure that Peking thought through the implications of their simile.
