From Asia Times Online:
One can read it as a story of blunders and bullying on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and there was an abundance of both follies in the lead-up to passage of the anti-secession law by China’s National People’s Congress. Yet the law adopted Monday served a higher purpose for Beijing: it got the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) out of the slough of passivity into which Taiwan had thrust it for the past decade.
