Taiwan Downplays U.S. Referendum Concerns

After a day of meetings with Chinese leaders Friday, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said the island's referendum "raises some questions about those who want to put it forward."...

Asked at a public event about Armitage's comments on Taiwan's referendum, Vice President Annette Lu said they were just polite words for the benefit of his hosts.

"When he's a guest under China's roof, he will say things like this, but after his return to Washington, he might talk differently"...

Aggh! They just won't listen!
