Taiwan Unveils New Vehicle, Stresses Need for Defenses
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, NANTOU, Taiwan


Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian on Jan.11 unveiled a new, homemade armored vehicle, stressing the need to beef up self-defense capabilities with rival China preparing a hostile law aimed at the island.

“Beijing has continued to suppress Taiwan’s space in the international community and even attempts to create a legal basis for the use of force against Taiwan in the so-called anti-secession law,” Chen said at a military base in central Taiwan.

“Therefore, A Bian (Chen’s nickname) urges the public to support the (government) policy of strengthening self-defense capabilities,” he said while unveiling the eight-wheeled, CM-32 armored vehicle.



Beijing is mulling a law aimed at preventing Taiwan from becoming independent, which analysts said could create the legal basis for China to take the island by force or pressure it to accept reunification.
