Michael Tsai points to a large map on the wall of his office in
Taiwan's national defence ministry. It is dotted with red symbols
representing dozens of Chinese missile, air and naval bases within easy
shooting range of the capital, Taipei, and other major Taiwanese
cities.
Whatever Beijing may say about its peaceful intentions, Mr Tsai
suggests, this map illustrates the reality - and the daunting scale -
of the military threat that lurks 100 miles to the west, across the
treacherous waters of the Taiwan Strait.
