...waged a strong war of words against Chen's candidacy. This culminated last Wednesday in an attack by Zhu Rongji, the reform-minded Premier, normally a moderate regarding Taiwan. Zhu warned voters in Taiwan against "impulse" voting: "Otherwise I'm afraid you won't get another opportunity to regret." He said Chinese were prepared to "shed blood" to protect their territory, and dismissed Western military analysts who say China is still years away from having the ability to invade Taiwan successfully...
