China's military puts pressure on Taiwan, hits at US
BEIJING. Mar 7: The Chinese military today fired yet another vitriolic blast at Taiwan and aimed a veiled barb at the United States by accusing "hostile Western forces" of trying to control China, reports AFF
In what has become a daily ritual as Taiwan's presidential elections on March 18 draw nearer. Defence Minister Chi Haotlan hammered out Beijing's uncompromising message to voters that Independence would mean war.
And in an Indirect reference to the United States. Chi accused "certain big countries" of fuelling independence sentiment on the island which has been ruled separately from the mainland since 1949.
"The Taiwan splittist force is supported by certain big countries who want to sabotage the 'One China' principle and block
the peaceful reunification process." said Chi, quoted in the Liberation Army' Daily.
“We sternly warn those Taiwan splittists who are playing with fire that they will get burned. The choice of Taiwan independence means a choice of war." Chi told a meeting of parliamentary delegates.
"Those troublemakers who are supported by foreigners are trying to make themselves stronger and sabotage reunification. but they are doomed to failure."
Meanwhile the People's Liberation Army's top general Zhang Wannian. without explicitly naming the United States, voiced China's long-running anger at US arms sales to Taiwan.
"Hostile Western forces trying to push our country down will not die. They are trying to
form a strategy to Impose Westernisation and divide China," said Zhang
China has kept up a steady stream of threats against Taiwan. which it considers a rebel province, since it published a new policy white paper on reunification on February 21.
China's political and military leadership have queued up to repeatedly warn the island that if it refuses to open talks on reunification or moves towards Independence it could face an invasion.
Analysts have viewed the threats as a blatant attempt to . intimidate voters and candidates in Taiwan, in particular pro-Independence candidate Chen Shui-bien.
US State Department spokesman James Foley on Monday described the "cacophony" of threatening lan-
guage as "very counterproductive.
"It Is probably not accidental that these comments are being made ... in the context of the run-up to the elections on Taiwan in two weeks time." he said.
"And so. there may be a certain amount of posturing involved." said Foley, while insisting Washington could not "in any way dismiss the fact that threats continue to be made".
In the past three days President Jiang Zemin. Premier Zhu Rongji. General Chi and General Zhang have all dispatched carefully-crafted and uncompromising warnings to Taiwan's electorate.
Zhang singled out Taiwan's president in his latest attack during a speech to PLA delegates to parliament.
