He also believes China might bomb airfields, immobilising Taiwan’s jets.Mr Chiang thinks China could “terrify the Taiwanese people” without using missiles. Continued military tests, the seizure of fishing vessels and other less extreme measures would divide Taiwanese society.There is also a possibility that many of Taiwan’s leaders would leave if the going got tough. Wang Chien-shien, of the New Party, which believes President Lee is provoking China unnecessarily, says Peking could inflict heavy blows without full- scale war. Although Taiwan’s army has acquired some modern equipment, such as F-16 fighter jets from the US, and Mirage 2000 jets from France, years of diplomatic isolation have taken their toll on its ability to acquire state-of-the-art equipment.This is not to say Taiwan is incapable of resistance, but it may have difficulty coping with military action which falls well short of war. Unlike Taiwan’s forces, the Chinese army has a number of leaders who have been tested in battle.
China has “sufficient military capability to bring Taiwan to its knees if it wishes to do so”, says a foreign resident with close ties to the military establishment.He believes Taiwan’s army has reasonably high combat efficiency, “but it has not been tested for a long time”. How can they be seen as non-provocative but demonstrate that they are capable of providing defence?”And what would happen if the military escalation got out of hand? China has the world’s biggest army, and it is increasingly equipped with modern armaments. Last month it made yet another futile attempt to rejoin the United Nations. President Lee, meanwhile, is riding high on the support he is gaining as the Chinese media launches personal attacks on him.”The question here,” says a Western observer in Taipei, “is how Taiwan’s military response is conducted. Here was the symbolic importance of our leader visiting a major Western country,” he said. “It changed the emptiness and frustration of the Taiwanese people.”China saw even more sinister motives behind the visit, according to Chu Yun-han, the director of programmes at the influential Institute for National Policy Research.He believes that Peking looked at the visit as part of a plot between Japan and the US to undermine China by promoting Taiwan.Taiwan refuses to back down.
People wondered what else China might do, if it responded so aggressively to what was no more than a private visit to the US.As Mr Yang points out, it was more than just a visit “It very much emotionally affected the people. Andrew Yang, secretary of the Council of Advanced Policy Studies, a government advisory body, said: “We don’t under-estimate their ability to do it.”When the first Chinese military exercise was launched, the stock market dropped like a stone and visa queues formed outside Western quasi-diplomatic offices.”It was a shock,” said Antonio Chiang, publisher of Journalist political weekly. However, China feels President Lee is intent on the ultimate heresy of making Taiwan an independent state, abandoning the Nationalists’ and Communists’ longstanding commitment to Chinese reunification.”I really think it’s possible China will invade,” says Tsai Bih-hwang, of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist) party. China responded by bombarding Taiwan’s smaller islands near the Chinese coast. Taiwan maintained a steady hail of return fire.That confrontation eventually faded, and talks between the two governments gave rise to hopes of a peaceful solution.

In an unmistakable signal that Wall Street has already priced in an interest rate increase widely expected from a meeting of the US Federal Reserve today, the Dow Jones industrial average soared 100 points last night. The unexpected devil-may-care mood ahead of the Fed meeting took hold only in the last hour of trading when the industrial average surged.
Earlier in the day, it had hovered around the unchanged mark. Most economists expect the Fed Open Market Committee to agree a quarter-point interest hike at its monthly meeting in Washington.The increase would represent the first tightening of monetary policy – indeed, the first change in interest rate policy of any kind – by the Fed in 15 months. The fizz on the Dow contrasted, however, with a rocky day on the Nasdaq, which slipped an ominous 11.43 points in what appeared to be a continuation of the fragility shown by most hi-tech stocks through last week.Attention was focused on Microsoft which saw an almost 5 per cent drop in its stock value following news that it would not deliver an updated version of its super-popular Windows 95 system until after this year’s Christmas shopping season.The troubles at Microsoft had a ripple effect on several other tech stocks as traders worried about the consequences for the broader computer sector.Commenting on the Nasdaq’s decline, Tony O’Brien of AG Edwards said: “The correction started in stocks which were fundamentally defective or deficient and then moved into small-caps and mid-caps.”Now you are correcting the big boys.”.
Further lubricating the recent downhill run of hi-tech stocks in New York, shares in Microsoft took a severe tumble yesterday following reports that its revised version of its Windows 95 operating system might be late in coming to the shops. Apparently reacting to fears that the new Windows 95 would not be available until after the next Christmas shipping season, Microsoft saw its shares fall by more than 5 per cent in New York trading.
The deterioration in Microsoft’s short-term prospects delivered another blow to the already fragile hi-tech sector. By midday yesterday, the technology-heavy Nasdaq exchange was down a significant 15 points.Although the Nasdaq had been slipping through several trading sessions, Microsoft’s troubles threatened a ripple effect with investors fearing negative consequencies for the wider computer sector. Among stocks that were also hit yesterday were Intel, Hewlett Packard, Dell and IBM.At lunch Microsoft was down $41/2 to $891/2, leaving the company’s stock at its lowest level since January. Microsoft was also the heaviest-traded stock on already nervous Nasdaq.The decline in the Nasdaq added to wider unease on Wall Street as investors awaited today’s meeting of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee.
There is general anticipation that Fed chairman Alan Greenspan will finally nudge the committee to increase interest rates in the United States for the first time in 15 months. Even so, the expected tightening in monetary conditions had apparently been priced into most stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average which, after fairly strong early gains, was hovering around the unchanged mark.. Economy A is growing faster than its sustainable trend, unemployment is at its lowest for years and pay inflation is creeping up. The financial markets have been prepared to expect a small increase in interest rates that will allow the recovery to continue without being blown off course by rising inflation. The authorities are steering a delicate course between boom and bust, so far very successfully. Economy B is also growing at a pace above trend, has rapidly falling unemployment and rising wage inflation.
However, a rise in interest rates would be greeted with utter astonishment. For economy A is, of course, the US, nicely the right side of the presidential elections, and economy B is the UK in the heat of the longest election campaign this century. In the US the Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has signalled the likelihood of a rise in Federal Funds rates after today’s Open Market Committee meeting.
On this side of the Atlantic, the Government has given up all pretence of modest economic recovery. “Britain is Booming,” announces the latest mailshot from Conservative Central Office. Ken Clarke insists this is a wonder-boom that will not be followed by bust later – he has found a miracle cure for the ups and downs of the economic cycle that has somehow escaped the notice of Mr Greenspan.The British economy almost certainly is in better shape than for a long time.
Yesterday’s balance of payments figures were much improved compared with the same stage of the last economic cycle, in the late 1980s. The pay-off for these genuine improvements is that interest rates should not need to rise as much as they would have in the past. But the fact that it ought to be easier to keep the economy on a steady course does not mean the Chancellor can get away without touching the brakes at all. Today’s expected interest rate move by the Fed, a classic “stitch-in-time” policy of the sort the Bank of England would love to follow, will highlight the risks the Government is taking with the British economy.Wallace digs in for long haul at CWCIn his former life Graham Wallace, the new chief exec at Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC), used to run Granada’s motorway service stations.
