Did the TIers care about the world?

"Chen said he would not bow to U.S. pressure to modify recent moves --
including holding a referendum on rewriting the constitution and
adding the name Taiwan to its official Republic of China passports --
which Bush administration officials worry could heighten tensions with
Beijing."

"The Bush administration has watched with some alarm as the president
has launched initiatives that many fear are designed to prompt a sharp
reaction from Beijing, which has threatened to attack Taiwan if it
declares independence. In the past weeks, Deputy Secretary of State
Richard L. Armitage, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher and
the U.S. envoy to Taiwan, Douglas Paal, have all publicly cautioned
Chen. The Taiwanese president will transit through the United States
later this month on his way to Panama."

-------------------

Sure, Taiwan has the right to walk her own road. However, Taiwan under
CSB is not walking her the Taiwan depending on the Taiwanese
themselves. Rather, Chen is relying on the risk of a regional conflict
and possible widespread andn prolong instability as his capital for
independence.

Chen declared that he would not bow to U.S. pressure to modify recent
moves. Implication: he does not care about the world including U.S.
interest. This is called unilateralism.

Question: Taiwan independent fundamentalists do not care about the
welfare of the world. Why should the world cares about them?
