The Chinese communists are a bunch of ungrateful thugs. If it wasn't for America, they would all be speaking Japanese today. If these communist nut-cases think America has anything to apologize for, they're delusional fools.

Let's put this in perspective; from various reports, here is the most plausible scenario which took place....

An American P3 reconnaissance plane was flying in international airspace 65 miles from the nearest Chinese border, two Chinese fighter jets zoom in close in order to harass the P3 crew which is on auto-pilot. One pilot, who probably just saw the movie Top Gun for the first time recently, decides to play Tom Cruise and zoom up to the P3's window in order to flash his email address. He mis-judges the distance and clips his plane against the P3, tumbles to his death and dies.

The P3 crew now have their hands full trying to deal with a damaged plane due to this stupid idiots flying acrobatics. They attempt to maneuver away from Chinese soil, but are threatened with being blown out of the air unless they land on a specific Chinese island nearby. So, the P3 carry out their emergency destruction procedures and land their damaged plane.

After landing, the Chinese insist on boarding the plane. The P3 Commanding officer asks for an American diplomat to be present before anyone is allowed onboard. For this, he is physically attacked, thrown down on the ground and forced to allow entry.

And the ungrateful Chinese communist government have the unmitigated gall to keep our P3 crew hostage, while they demand an apology!!

Give me a break...

You can bet about 50 million Americans will be looking under every toy this Christmas and doing what they can to avoid the label. "Made in China".

What a bunch of fools, they've just set back their countries economic development 10 years. And every week that our men and women are held captive, you can tack on another year or two.
