Chen warns businesses of China risk

[dArKeR]

President Chen Shui-bian (???) yesterday said that Taiwan would not isolate itself from Chinese or other markets, but he urged local businesspeople to be more aware of the potential risks in investing in China -- for their sake and for the country's sake.
Chen's comments were part of a speech via videoconference to the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan.

He said that "China's rise" would be influenced by many factors, including its huge market and economic appeal, expanding military capabilities, the potential for socioeconomic turmoil, the political center's capacity to control the regions and the question of whether democratization could be introduced in a steady fashion.
