BUSH to China: "BE MORE LIKE TAIWAN!"

Oh, my word. Smooth, "W"!

Later in the article he says he supports the "One China" policy, which will absorb and cancel out the tiny democracy. Gee, W, which do you support, you can't have it both ways!

P.S. China to Bush: "Who owns you, baby?"
====

U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday urged China to move further to allow political and religious freedoms, and he held up Taiwan as a model for Asia of a free and democratic society.

In remarks sure to annoy Beijing ahead of his visit there on Saturday, Bush said communist-run China had taken steps toward more openness but had "not yet completed the journey."

He painted a different picture of Taiwan, the self-ruled island over which China claims sovereignty.

"Modern Taiwan is free and democratic and prosperous. By embracing freedom at all levels, Taiwan has delivered prosperity to its people and created a free and democratic Chinese society," Bush said in prepared remarks for a speech in Kyoto.

O.M.G. Bush already made enemy before he even put foot in China.

Just when you think he can't say anything stupider.

for years he has continually managed to one-up himself in the most incredible fashion. It's hard to believe a person can be that stupid and that arrogant all at the same time...

why did they unmuzzle this idiot. The State Department must be cringing right now.

I wonder if Bush knows that China is the #2 holder of our debt. I believe it's something like $465 billion, not million, BILLION. The could call in that debt, any time they want to.

Question for George Bush: "What does a 500 canary say?"

Answer = Polly wants a cracker NOW.

Get it, George? Beggars can't be choosers. I know you're just doing this as a flamboyant show of toughness to the world, but if you piss of our debtor, you're in trouble.

:puke:

:evilgrin:

ran by corporatism, and W's out teaching freedom? Freaking unbelievable.

We wants to meet with Christians there and worship. True.

he has no intention of meeting any christians.

"They told me how things are tranformin' in China. Transformin'. And I applaud the Chinese gummint for openin' up the freedom to worship."

You're right, he will make it all up.

bush gets to please his base while the chinese corporate political powers and the walton family just sit and count the money

since he fell out of the back of the pickup and landed on his head.

China hates Taiwan like only Reich Wingers could appreciate.

Take that drunken monkey back to Crawford to play dress-up workermans.

about this at their next cabinet meeting...

When they do, we lose supremacy to them. It will be fast I bet.

Bush needs to STFU when it comes to China. And stop spending and borrowing money from them.

China already loathes Bush, but they use him. His deficits keep their products in US stores.

Since Hong Kong was joined with the mainland, it has maintained a multi-party liberal democracy and free press. In fact, the only thing that has really changed is that its now formally recognized as being a part of China. But it pretty much governs as its own sovereign city-state.

I think a similar situation with Taiwan isn't out of the question. China possesses very little desire to actually control Taiwan. After all, it has absolutely no natural resources to speak of. Much of their "One China" policy is symbolic. They are still miffed that Taiwan officially calls itself, "Republic of China." If Taiwan agreed to drop its ROC title and officially say that they are part of the PRC, then they will both appease the Chinese and keep their system of government and free society.

It's the scenario where the Chinese have to unify the two countries militarily which worries me....
