It's official: "Taiwan is an island surrounded by water on all sides."

I really enjoy reading the Global Times. Reading it, I learn things I did not even suspect I didn't know. Last night, I stumbled upon a 2010 February interview with a senior military researcher, Du Wenlong, with the PLA Academy of Military Sciences Taiwan's military strategy naïve and dangerous.

I learned that "Taiwan is an island surrounded by water on all sides." You can even see the trace of a smile on his face. Du Wenlong is a funny guy, He should be in charge of the PLA army theatre.
The Global Times is not what it appears to be. It is a satirical magazine.
