OT- China (Before the bell.)
Maurice - China doesn't like everybody in the US picking apart their human rights record in Tianamen square, and Tibet. They see NATO and the US attack a SOVEREIGN country for what they consider to be an internal matter and they think to themselves, "that could be us next." In addition, the political games are public in the US so all the dirty laundry gets aired and part of that game by Republicans is to attack the DEMS with whatever stones are available - currently those comprise campaign contributions from China, campaign contributions from companies like Loral and Bernie Scwhartz who benefit from commerce with China in militarily sensitive areas (as a Loral shareholder I don't condemn Bernie but it is part of the game that he and we might have benefitted from for a while).
So when the Chinese embassy gets bombed, BY MISTAKE, the Chinese scream bloody murder (which they should). But when the President wants to call and apologize, admits the mistake, it bothers me that the Chinese refuse to accept his call for a couple of days while they whip up hysteria that the attack was INTENTIONAL. They don't even report that the US President is apologizing. Why? They want to make political hay out of it that is why. Yes the US should pay reparations for the Embassy, but I don't want to confuse a Chinese PR machine with the truth. And I don't take your charge that the US or Clinton did it intentionally very seriously either. That is how I see it. Best, Tom
