What do you take me for? Aren't I at least 1 of the brighter bulbs you've met in your life? You wrote:
"First of all, Beijing is NOT the capital of Taiwan, Taipei is. Taiwan is the Republic of China, formerly known as Formosa, and has remained independent of mainland China since.."
Really professor? OF COURSE I KNOW THAT! If you had slowed down and researched the story properly you'd know I was referring to the undersecretary of defense (named Ryan coincidentally) whom made it a priority to alert Beijing of the mistake so as not to let it be interpreted in some sort of Cuban missile crisis scenario. And that is because the communist regime has an official "One China" policy which includes Taiwan as a territory. Thus the tension between the US, China and Taiwan given we want the Taiwanese to exercises their independence with a wink and a nod while trying not to publicly offend the Beijing regime.
