The following is an excerpt from here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_excomm/19990305_xex_lesson_forgo.shtml
Now the Communist Chinese troops have targeted
ours stationed at Taiwan in the straits. They have sent the signal, and the
countries of Western Asia have seen it. To our recent demands the Communist
Chinese have either not responded at all or have responded by telling us to mind
our own business and have now even stated without equivocation that if we dare
to try and protect Taiwan, they will give missiles and missile technology to
other countries that are hostile toward us. With each futile pretense of a
gesture from this president the Chinese Communists only increase their drive to
dominate the Western Pacific. The message to all of the surrounding countries is
as clear as it can be: China, not the U.S., is the real power in Western Asia.
