Taiwan welcomes U.S. ships
Warships hope to keep peace with neighbors
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan — While China growled, Taiwan welcomed U.S. warships under orders to head toward the troubled region on the eve of Chinese live-fire war games.
Taiwan endured another jittery day yesterday as shareholders bailed out of Taiwanese stocks, and the public rushed to buy millions of American dollars as a hedge against a possible conflict.
"Taiwan is a part of China and not a protectorate of the United States," warned Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen, after the United States moved one aircraft carrier battle group nearer Taiwan and ordered a second to quit the Persian Gulf early and head toward the region.
U. S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher said the U.S. ships were meant to be helpful if needed.
Taiwanese government representative Jason Hu said the vessels were intended to maintain peace and not to intervene.
"We believe this is welcomed by countries in the region. We are not hoping for war, so any acts conducive to peace will be welcome." Hu said.
Taiwanese commentators are concerned that the U.S. tactic of calculated ambiguity, which leaves China to
guess how it might react to an attack on Taiwan, might be read as a weakness.

U. S. Secretary of Defense William Perry said the movement of U.S. warships is a prudent, cautionary measure. He does not think Beijing will invade the island and predicted a nonmilitary solution to the crisis.
China regards Taiwan as a renegade province. The Nationalists
retreated to the island in 1949 after losing a civil war on the mainland to the Communists. Both Taipei and Beijing formally have espoused reunification, but China is convinced Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui covertly wants independence.
Qian told reporters in Beijing that China still hoped to achieve reunification peacefully, but reiterated
that Beijing would not renounce the use of force.
Following the three missiles it test-fired near Taiwan on Friday, China is starting eight days of air and sea maneuvers in a 6,600-square-mile rectangle that stretches to the midpoint of the Taiwan Straits, which is an unofficial border both sides try not to cross.
While any serious miscalculation
could spark hostilities, neither side seems eager for war.
China has orchestrated its moves carefully. Friday's test missiles splashed harmlessly into the sea and were thought to carry dummy warheads. Airplanes and ships have been warned to avoid the war games zone.
Taiwan's military said the exercise appeared similar to one last August and said that Taiwanese had no need to overreact.
It predicted the exercise would include anti-submarine measures, anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles, artillery and bombing runs.
China's Qian stopped short of calling the U.S. naval move provocative, while Taiwan's President Lee mixed defiance with measured words as he campaigned for re-election.
Taiwanese "must unite and struggle on even if communist China test-fires 100 missiles and 1,000 bullets to push Taiwan into the corner," Lee said.
But mindful that most Taiwanese want the crisis resolved quickly, he promised to try to prevent hostilities.
