Anti Passenger Liner Defense

This is ironic...

The military has begun to deploy mobile launcher trucks installed with fixed-base missiles around Taiwan to counter Chinese weapons trained on the island, it was reported Sunday.
The trucks carry home-grown Hsiung Feng II anti-ship missiles which are difficult to detect by aerial reconnaissance, the Liberty Times said.

... particularly when you consider this.

Direct commercial flights have resumed between historic foes China and Taiwan for the first time in 55 years.

Six flights from mainland China touched down in Taipei, and a Taiwanese airliner landed in Beijing on Saturday.

Dancing lions and dragons greeted the first flights to arrive on both sides, and beaming passengers said they hoped the flights would become permanent.

I'm pretty worried about China's continued suppression of democracy in Macau and Hong Kong under the "One Country, Two Policies" scam... I mean, uh, "plan." More on this as it develops.
