Bush Opposing Democracy for Taiwan

CNN.com - Bush says he opposes Taiwanese independence - Dec. 9, 2003

This is just... odd. Why on earth would someone who's stated he wants to bring democracy to Iraq, opposed to a group who want to bring democracy to themselves. Most telling may be the following quote:

U.S.-China trade has come a long way since 25 years ago, Wen said. The combined total was a mere $2.5 billion a year, compared with the current figure of more than $100 billion, he said.

Ah! Now it makes sense. It's about money. Boy, you'd think he'd be a little less blantant about it.
