OT China

One of the early reports quoted a Navy aviator as saying (paraphrasing) that any fighter pilot who can't avoid a collision with a P3 deserves to be laughed out of the sky. I tend to agree, and that may be part of the problem. If China admits that the collision was their fault (including letting us argue that it wasn't our fault), then their pilots look incompetent, they lose lots of face, and the big stick that they like to wave at Taiwan looks much less threatening.
