From the China Post: Taiwan demonstrates military prowess at National Day parade for the first time in 16 years.

(itallics mine)

     TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's president decried China's government as totalitarian Wednesday as residents gathered for the island's first National Day parade of military hardware since halting such displays in 1991 to ease tensions with Beijing.

     In an address to officials before the parade, President Chen Shui-bian renewed a pledge to continue seeking membership in the United Nations, saying the self-ruled island has the right to rejoin the world body despite objections of rival China.

     "Taiwan and China are two separate states that don't belong to each other, and this is a historical fact as well as the reality," Chen said in front of the ornate presidential office.

     "The problem in the Taiwan Strait today does not rest with Taiwan .... but with China's totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship," he said.

    I can now offically confirm that President Chen Shui-ban has a pair of giant brass ones between his legs.  Not only did he blatantly state that Taiwan is an independent nation, he also called out the mainland commies for the murdering totalitarian bastard they are.  Bravo sir, bravo indeed.  Those last words will sting for the same reasons Reagan's words about the USSR being the focus of evil in the modern world stung, because they are true, and the people on the receiving end know that to be the case.
