Chinese military ready for "necessary" casualties over Taiwan
Senior Chinese military officers warned Taiwan it was staring into the
abyss of war and the mainland was ready for "necessary" casualties if
the island pursued its independence drive.
The comments in the state-run Outlook Weekly magazine, carried by the
Xinhua news agency and major websites, followed Taiwan President Chen
Shui-bian's plan to hold a referendum on the island's future.
Two People's Liberation Army (PLA) officers quoted by the magazine
said Chen would be held responsible if war breaks out and said
separatists "will be treated the same way war criminals are dealt with
elsewhere in the world".
"Chen has touched on the mainland's bottomline on the Taiwan
question," said Luo Yuan, a senior colonel with the Chinese Academy of
Military Sciences.
"He is actually playing with fire. It is very dangerous -- and immoral
as well -- for Chen and his predecessor Lee Teng-hui to take the
restraints and tolerance of the mainland as signs of weakness.
"If they refuse to come to their senses and continue to use referenda
as an excuse to seek Taiwan independence, they will push Taiwan
compatriots into the abyss of war," he said.
Premier Wen Jiabao has indicated China was willing to "pay any price"
to deter Taiwan independence, and these prices were outlined by Major
General Peng Guangqian, also with the Academy.
They include boycotts of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, decreasing
foreign investment, worsening foreign relations, economic recession,
and "necessary" casualties of the PLA, he said in the magazine.
"All these prices are bearable when compared with the Taiwan issue,
which is of the highest interest for the Chinese nation," he said.
"If Taiwan separatists want to gamble on it (by pushing for
independence), they will pay a heavy price and be defeated with shame.
We will definitely intervene."
Chen, from the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, said at
the weekend that China's deployment of 496 ballistic missiles aimed at
Taiwan had prompted him to push for a vote to safeguard the country's
sovereignty.
He argued a referendum law passed last week by parliament allowed him
to stage a "defensive" vote on "issues of national security concern"
in the event of a foreign threat.
China, which regards Taiwan as part of Chinese territory awaiting
reunification, has repeatedly threatened to attack the island should
it declare formal independence.
