China Plans To Send Police To Taiwan?

From the Taipei Times (http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2009/05/10/20...):

"A Crime Investigation Bureau [in Taiwan] official said there was no plan, but the bureau was working on allowing Chinese law enforcers to be stationed in Taiwan."

and the rationale?

"...Taiwanese police officers and China’s People’s Armed Police — be stationed in each country to strengthen cross-strait cooperation on crime prevention."

From my understanding of police enforcement, the practice of inviting representatives of a foreign police department is not unusual. Even the NYPD has units stationed around the world.

On a side note, the headline is slightly link-bait-ish. The usage of a question mark, reminds me of a Jon Stewart critique of television news headlines (http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=117466...).

The blog post doesn't really add anything to the article it cites. I would have up voted it if there was some commentary on how this related to economics, business, or technology (there's not even a mention as to why China and Taiwan have tensions); which leads me to wonder if the people who up voted the link even read the blog post before they clicked on the up arrow
