China has warned the Taiwanese people that if they vote for independence, China is prepared to use force. I'm expecting uproar in the Dail, articles and editorials by the score in the Irish newspapers and lots of general condemnation of China on the radio call-in shows. Surely the people of Ireland will be demanding that a fellow island democracy not be threatened in this manner by a great power.
Okay, I'll keep taking the meds. In fact, I expect the silence to be deafening.
I'll post everything that I can find from the Irish media on this threat. I couldn't find anything in the Irish Independent, Irish Times, Irish Examiner or RTE's Morning Ireland today. If you find something, please send it to me.
