Taipei, Taiwan. No universal democratist's Saturday could be better start when this is the first image to appear on the computer screen.
Like any rapacious dictatorship, China detests the plucky self-determination of 23 million descendents of the people who in 1949 escaped Mao Tse Tung's fractured dreamchild. With a farcically named "anti-secession law," Beijing renewed its call to drown the tiny neighboring islands in a sea of red, hoping in the short term to stifle any Taipei talk of independence.
The Taiwanese know better.
They've their own opinions as to who treads on who.
