Cruising for a Bruising?

China is sending their envoy, Chen Yunlin (who is the head of the "semiofficial" Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait), who got roughed up a bit last year on his trip to Taiwan, back to Taiwan:

China said Wednesday it is confident that Taiwan will have enough security measures in place during a visit by its top envoy to the island next week despite opposition party threats of protests.

As I wrote at the time when the vice chair was attacked last year, if China wants an incident, Chen would make a good fall guy.
