Following the discovery of a listening device later determined to be of Bonstockian origin in the Taipei Presidential Palace, President Zhang has expelled Bonstockian diplomats from Taipei and ordered a shut-down of Bonstockian embassies in Taiwan.

Suspicions were first raised when a listening device was found by a visitor during the recent Sino-Taiwan diplomatic exchanges. Further analysis then revealed that the components were manufactured in the Maropian Coast. The Taiwanese Government took immediate action and read the Riot Act to the Bonstockian ambassador.

The saga does not bear well for Taiwan-Bonstock relations. The planned visit to Bonstock by General Zhang has been cancelled, and efforts to reopen immigration between the two nations (closed since the war) have been dealt a severe setback.

"Peter geton the phone, call the President of _Taiwan. I want to talk to him anout this." Said Terry Les Demones

" Yes sir" Responded Peter

ring.... ring....

Agreements had been made between the two generals over the coming of wargames near the border of Maropian Coast. Sino has planned a new and peaceful deployment to Treasure Island (Taiwan).

President Zhang has asked the wargames be held in a different, less sensitive location lest Bonstockian interests be percieved to be under threat from the wargames.

"hello I hope all is well in your land?" askes demones

"...Yes...So why do you call?"

With information of this, _Taiwanese diplomats are put under house arrest. All _Taiwanese assets in Bonstock and Maropian Coast are temporarily frozen, and borders of MAropian Coast and _Taiwan are all but cut off.

A message is sent on an emergency wire:

"General Zhang, we ask you why this is happening. The FRB did not plant any 'bugs' in your territory. We ask that you allow Bonstocknian embassies to reopen, and stop this madness.

Harald, son of Gustav, lord of all Bonstocknians"

OOC:Bleh, I'm not going trhough this again.

"Shame on Bonstock. If Bonstock have not had any spies, or what ever that is, why would it closed down all the embassies, house arrests the diplomats, and not but not least, isolating Bonstock from Taiwan? Bonbstock has shit in his pants, and we all know it!" yelled an anti-Bonstock league member as they paraded down the Xiannese Avenues yelling and chating slogans againstBonstock.

The Hudecian government condemns the Bonstockian heavy handed response the the Taiwanese actions. The Hudecian government demands to know why the Taiwanese have been placed under house arrest. Does not the Bonstockian government respect the rule of law and due process?

Holding hostages is more fitting of a terrorist organization than a national government.

Although the Hudecian government will not take further action at this time, Parliament will reconvene tomorrow to discuss the issue.

Sino applauds the actions of Chinese Taipei as we have no dealing with the enemies, such diplomacy organized by Chen is now invalid and these embassies should not be reopened as we never recognized the Maropian Coast.

Sinoese government printers have begun churning out millions of copies of propaganda leaflets, for the population of Maropian Coast and the millions of Sinoese and Taiwanese servicemen.

Chellis denounces Bonstock for spying on Taiwan, and demands that Bonstock stop its aggresive policies toward Taiwan and Sino, on condition of grave consequence.

Xiannese thinks less of you Bonstockians.

With approval by the Xiannese, the Sinoese navy has been deployed to blockade and patrol Bahai (Po Sea).

"The Taiwanese Government did not violate any international laws and acted appropriately in ordering the closure of Bonstockian embassies for the sake of national security.

We ask that Bonstock apologise for violating Taiwanese soverignty by the planting of listening devices in Taiwanese diplomatic channels. We also request that Bonstock appropriately reconcile the Taiwanese diplomats held under house arrest.

Only then may we look at re-establishing relations between our two nations."

Once again, we did NOT plant electronic listening devices. This is all the propaganda of a rogue government with a cold war mentality. More of this nonsense, and it will lead to nuclear apocalypse for all of us! I warn Sino and _Taiwan, dont test us with your lies!

For one, there is no proof that Bonstock did or did not plant any of the devices in question. Both sides are simple hearsay on this issue of spy devices. However, if __Taiwan can produce evidence of such Devices and a neutral party can confirm that said devices were in fact manufactured in the Maropian Coast then there will be proof showing that such devices were planted and that Bonstock is at fault. Then __Taiwan's actions shall be justified, while Bonstock's actions will be irrational. As it stands now, neither side is correct in their actions. However, Bonstock's immediate jump to Nuclear Annihilation shows a great deficiency in Bonstock's diplomatic abilities...

Chuang-Han will act as a third party, if __Taiwan can produce said devices.

OOC(Maybe I'll stop lurking in the China Region and finally get into RPing with my fellow Chinese nations :) )

OOC:Yay, CHuang-Han~!

The Constitutional Republic of Northern China demands Bonstock to stop with the threats toward the Republic of China(Taiwan). The conflict needs to be solved. As the nation of Chuang-Han CHina is willing to offer a go between, we should take it in the name of peace.


In the name of the Imperial Government.

OOC:Earlier in a RP, Bonstock did plant devices in the building while Zhang and Liu met. It is just a matter of time when the Government of taiwan will find out.

What Bonstock did is a diplomatic stud as this is a fault concerning Bonstock. He does not have the rights to hold any Taiwanese as prisoners of their own quarters. Bonstock, now already threatening with nukes is already thought less of a player and an intellegent RPer.
-Real life, Yeh.

OOC: Even if he did plant devices - which OOC we all know he did - if they choose to have me as a neutral third party he can RP a clever way to make it look like he didn't plan any devices and thus taking any official blame off of him. Or the alternative is __Taiwan gets blown to pieces, aparrently...

ooc: according to public press releases, I do have short/intermediate range ballistic missiles in Maropian Coast. However, they are launchers without missiles, made to look pretty for Sinoese and _Taiwanese spy sattelites, and perhaps force Sino/_Taiwan to the negotiating table. Diplomacy is always applied with a bit of force, and though this amount of force is absolute overkill, it will make Sino think twice before attacking me.

Yes, I did plant electronic listening devices. My espionage services, the BSS, always do that. In the RL world, bugs and what not happen all the time. The Americans do it to the Russians, and vise versa, probably every day. And they don't go closing embassies because of it, do they?

Of course, do you expect me to go in IC and say "I planted bugs to spy on an ally?" Do you think Vladimir Putin would go make a speech and say "I planted bugs in the White House so I could spy on the United States?"

Really, I'm not even sure how, in IC, _Taiwan can even find that these bugs are Bonstocknian. No one would be so stupid as to label them. And really, planting bugs is more of an IC excuse for reading a thread. Because of them, I know in IC what I would know in OOC anyway. It doesn't make much difference.

So, this entire situation is pretty much about nothing. Yes, I am being heavy handed, but I want to make a point. I'm not gonna be pushed around, and Sino better think twice before launching more of his threats.

IC:

The Federal Republic will release all _Taiwanese diplomats from house arrest, unfreeze _Taiwanese assets in Bonstock, and reopen Maropian Coast borders with _Taiwan, if _Taiwan agrees to reopen Bonstocknian embassies in its country and allow diplomats to return.

In addition, the Federal Republic will withdraw all strategic bombers and intermediate range ballistic missiles if Sino and other nations agree not to deploy troops to _Taiwan, and if Sinoese ships promise not to venture into Bonstocknian waters.

If Sino agrees to sign a non-agression pact with the Federal Republic, and agrees to recognize Bonstocknian possessions in the Far East, then Bonstock will reopen diplomatic relations with Sino, and allow Sinoese investment in the Bonstocknian economy.

We hope that this agreement will lead to peace.

Harald, son of Gustav, lord of all Bonstocknians

To get _Taiwan in the mood to compromise (rather hurried):

The Federal Republic solemnly regrets that hardline elements within the Bonstocknian intelligence apparatus utilized electronic listening devices to commit acts of espionage against the Republic of _Taiwan. However, we see it as our right as a sovreign nation to commit such acts that we deem fit for the preervation of our national security

OOC: _Taiwan, I'm with Bonstock and Chuang Han on this.. could you produce some evidence that the bugs you found were Bonstockian..

ie.. say that a certain part of the bug was produced in this fashion which is only done in Bonstock... etc...

OOC:Hudecia, he just admitted he used the devices, read the post he just posted.

Xiaguo condemns the Government of Bonstock for lying to us anyway.

ooc: Note that I blamed "hardline elements within the Bonstocknian intelligence apparatus;" Lord Harald personally ordered the bugging, but he goes without blame, officially.

Offically the Celtayoshi government condems Bonstock for its actions but off the record it is admits that spying is a necessary tactic to secure national security provided the action goes unoticed. Listening devices are common practice from the CYSIS.


The Celtayoshi government encourages everyone not to overreact to this unfortunate situation. We are willing to play neutral party if the nedd arises.

BUMP so taiwan can respond to my last minute diplomacy before Sino launches a nuclear preemtive strike and blows 10 billion people to hell.

_taiwan? you there?

OOC: maybe we should wait for Taiwan to come back and respond.. after all .. you guys are talking about starting a war in his backyard...

really Bonstock.. just make a few examples of a couple of intelligence officers by jailing them or something.. then claim that the entire operation was done outside of your intel agency and without gov't approval...

Really, no one can claim otherwise..

Although, if Taiwan and Sino could 'find' some evidence linking Harald to the bugging then that'd be cool too. (usually when finding evidence becomes difficult it is nice to fabricate it.. hint hint Sino.)

OOC: I go to work and there's a 5 page thread waiting for me. Grr!

Detailed files containing damning evidence of Bonstockian spying in the recent Sino-Taiwanese talks are delivered to Hudecian and Chuang-Han intelligience services.

(Basically intercepted signals from the F-15s that shadowed the secret flight, a comparison of the bugging devices found on the H-8 to those known to be used by the BSS, and of course, the admission.)
