Beijing prefers a peaceful reunification, said Li, the man generally credited with sending tanks against democracy demonstrators in 1989, "but we have not forsworn the use of force." Foreign Ministry spokesman Chen Jian even suggested a timetable of sorts, saying that after China reclaims Hong Kong in 1997 and Macau in 1999, then Taiwan will be "high on the agenda of the Chinese people...

Egypt's domestic opposition to the war was milder than Syria's, but explosions of anti-U.S. protest broke out at several Egyptian universities last week.
