China's Premier Threatens Taiwan Voters UPI March 16, 2000 Taiwanese Vice President Lien Chan, the ruling Nationalist Party's presidential candidate, on Thursday urged Chinese leaders to take a "sit-and-talk" attitude instead of a "wait-and-see" posture in dealing relations and settling disputes between Taiwan and China. It was the first official reaction by Taiwan authorities regarding Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji's remarks Wednesday cautioning the people in Taiwan not to vote for pro-Taiwan independence presidential candidate Chen Shui-bian for president in Saturday's elections. Lien's "wait-and-see" remark refers to Zhu's reply to a press query whether China would repeat its missile firing exercise of 1996 when Taiwan had its first presidential elections. Zhu simply said: "For that query, let's just wait and see." Zhu declared that China would not tolerate Taiwan's independence that separates the island from the Chinese territory. China reportedly has not ruled out the possibility of using military force to take Taiwan should the island decide to declare independence. Zhu's statement was seen in Taiwan as the sternest of warnings on the Taiwan-China issue. Speaking at a news conference Thursday, Lien said China "has no rights to intervene the presidential elections in Taiwan." He called the elections an internal affair, of which other countries, including China, are not entitled to interfere or should try to influence. "The relations between the two sides across the Taiwan Strait, at present or in the future, should belong to that for a sit-and-talk relationship, rather than that of a wait-and-see formula," Lien said, urging the Beijing authorities to temporarily set aside the problem of one-China policy, but take into consideration the peaceful talks for settling bilateral disputes and differences instead. Referring to China's rejection of Chen Shui-bian's Taiwan independence plank in his campaign platform, Lien said such a thing was an example of an internal affair, by saying that "if we have a naughty boy at home, it is our duty as the parents to correct and teach him. There is no need for others to educate the naughty boy on our behalf." ... newsmax.com
