Don't trust me on this. Listen to their foreign minister:
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi issued his warning in a speech in Washington, where he nonetheless called for greater cooperation with President Barack Obama's administration despite recent rows. "I want to stress that no matter how the situation across the Taiwan Strait may evolve, we will never waiver in our commitment to the one China principle and will never compromise our opposition to 'Taiwan independence', 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan,'" he said. "We hope that the US side will honor its commitments, prudently and properly handle Taiwan-related issues, and take concrete actions to support the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations," he said.
The Chinese communists can smile, but ultimately all it is is baring their fangs. In the Chinese theory of evolution, one party becomes extinct.
The Taiwanese might want to watch their necks.
UPDATE: The Taiwanese want the Chinese to repeal their legal basis for invading Taiwan:
In 2005, China enacted an "anti-secession law" that allows it to use force on Taiwan in extreme cases. It was seen as a warning to Taiwan's then-President Chen Shui-bian who often angered the mainland with his independence-leaning rhetoric.
"The Mainland Affairs Council hopes Chinese communist authorities will abolish the inappropriate anti-secession law and dismantle missiles aimed at Taiwan to resume peace across the Taiwan Strait and create a win-win situation," the council, Taiwan's China policy-making body, said in a statement.
Why would China try to create a win-win situation? China just wants that old fashioned single-win of crushing Taiwanese independence.
