Reuters: China has debated attacking Taiwan-controlled islands, Taiwan official says

National Security Bureau Director-General Chen Ming-tong did not say how he knew that such a move had been debated or why it would not happen during the next few years.
China's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.

Update: China 'debated' attacking Taiwan islands (Canberra Times/AP).
WNU Editor: I have always said that if China was serious in upping its military pressure on Taiwan, aside from using warplanes and naval ships challenging Taiwan's border, it would be the seizure of one or more of its islands. The Pratas Islands, because of their location and strategic importance, would be the prime target.
As to this claim from this Taiwan official that China has debated attacking Taiwan-controlled islands. That is nothing new. When I was in China in the 1980s, my Chinese contacts in Fujian province (this Chinese province is across from Taiwan) always entertained me on how they would go about using their military to seize Taiwan's islands that are off the coast of China.
