Blunt message to Taiwan:CNN

Bush rebukes Taiwan over independence talk

Kind of a practical policy, a conflict between China and Taiwan would be a bloody mess in itself, but the potential for it to cause other issues such as US involvement is even more frightening.

Calm down there, buddy.

Re-read the story. Bush didn't tell anyone that they "cannot seek independence".

He said that we oppose any change to the status-quo. This has been our stated position for quite some time now...

Taiwan's concern is China, not the US, remember?

Bush is signalling to Taiwan not to rely on our military assistance if they decide to seek independence on their own.
