Strategypage reports: Taiwan, why China opposes religion, and growing internal anarchy |
One of these religious inspired internal rebellions was the Tai Ping
revolt, which was a pseudo Christian revolt in the 1860's that
resulted in 20 million dead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 25, 2003: The Taiwanese parliament passed a law setting up an
independence referendum in the event that China pursues reunification
by force. The Chinese have yet another problem to deal with, but if
Taiwan goes independent, China will have to deal with that somehow.
But the PLAN does not have the sealift capability to invade, and even
if it did, the PLAAF would have to win air superiority. That would be
difficult against the Taiwanese Air Force and Navy, which get a lot
more training than their counterparts. Taiwan also has the Seventh
Fleet as backup. The Taiwanese are also highly motivated. That is
understandable when one is in the military of a country who has a
neighbor determined to forcibly annex it.
November 24, 2003: The government continues its crackdown on organized
religion. Hundreds of Christian temples and Buddhist temples have been
closed, and thousands of active practitioners have been arrested.
There are only fifty million Christians in China (about four percent
of the population), but many more Buddhists. China is not a religious
country, in the Western sense. Most Chinese observe ancient customs,
some of them religious, but none of them dependent on any organized
religion. But over the past few centuries, organized religious
movements have often led massive rebellions against the government.
Chinese leaders have always taken their history lessons very
seriously.
November 21, 2003: Civil disorder is growing in China, as can be seen
by the larger number of police being killed. So far this year (through
November 10), 390 police officers were killed while on duty, while
another 3,916 were injured. Since the Communists took over in 1948,
the average number of police deaths each year was 110. But in the last
few years, this has been growing rapidly.
