China: Taiwan leader a 'saboteur' Wednesday, February 8, 2006; Posted: 12:26 a.m. EST (05:26 GMT)Posted by jozjozjoz at February 8, 2006 11:20 AMBEIJING, China (AP) -- China on Wednesday branded Taiwanese leader Chen Shui-bian a troublemaker and saboteur over recent remarks seen by Beijing as backing the island's formal independence.
In a speech late last month, Chen suggested it was time to consider doing away with official guidelines committing the self-governing Taiwanese island to eventual unification with mainland China. Taiwan officials have since said the fate of the guidelines was still far from being decided.
