Taiwan denies it seeks permanent split from China December 11, 2003 BY WILLIAM FOREMAN ... TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's president assured Washington on Wednesday that he has no plans to provoke China by seeking a permanent split with the communist giant, responding to the sharpest rebuke from America since Chen Shui-bian took office three years ago. But Chen refused to back down on the issue that's causing the rare friction with the United States -- plans to hold a March 20 ''defensive referendum'' demanding that China remove hundreds of missiles pointing at Taiwan. ''We . . . urge the international community not to treat China's military threats and its deployment of missiles as a natural state of affairs,'' Chen said. ''A defensive referendum is for avoiding war and to help keep the Taiwanese people free of fear,'' Chen said. ''It is also for preserving the status quo'' with China. Beijing opposes the referendum because it fears the poll would lead to a vote on whether Taiwan should seek a permanent split with China. Since the sides separated amid civil war in 1949, China has insisted that Taiwan must unify eventually or face war. On Tuesday, President Bush joined in and issued an unusually stern warning to the Taiwanese president during a news conference after a meeting in Washington with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. ... suntimes.com
