Oh, my word. Smooth, "W"!

Later in the article he says he supports the "One China" policy, which will absorb and cancel out the tiny democracy. Gee, W, which do you support, you can't have it both ways!

P.S. China to Bush: "Who owns you, baby?"
====

U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday urged China to move further to allow political and religious freedoms, and he held up Taiwan as a model for Asia of a free and democratic society.

In remarks sure to annoy Beijing ahead of his visit there on Saturday, Bush said communist-run China had taken steps toward more openness but had "not yet completed the journey."

He painted a different picture of Taiwan, the self-ruled island over which China claims sovereignty.

"Modern Taiwan is free and democratic and prosperous. By embracing freedom at all levels, Taiwan has delivered prosperity to its people and created a free and democratic Chinese society," Bush said in prepared remarks for a speech in Kyoto.
