With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Friday September 24, 12:01 AM War Plans in Beijing? A one-time British journalist, politico and friend of NewsMax.com traveled this month to Red China with an official U.K. delegation. Our British friend had dismissed any notion of a China-Taiwan war. He tells Inside Cover that, while in Beijing, his delegation was guided around town by the daughter of a lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army. During some friendly chatter, the general's daughter said she loved Beijing but her father was planning to move her abroad soon. "Why so?" our British friend asked. "He says there will be a war with Taiwan," she replied, and her father felt it would be safer for her outside China. Next spring, Taiwan will hold presidential elections. During the last election in 1996, China stepped up its war of rhetoric with Taiwan by flexing military muscle with live-fire exercises. Expect more of the same this time -- or worse -- says our British friend. newsmax.com
