Hi Ron, <<These folks are spies, not tourists. That's a pretty broad interpretation, isn't it?>> Yes it is, because I said in such matters, there is no rights, no wrongs, just is. Let's try the following categorization that we can agree on ... these folks are materially involved in a fatal traffic accident at a location closest to the jurisdiction of Hainan military command. <<Should we take the same actions to provoke a confrontation with these platforms and force them into US (or allied) ports were we can then charge them with espionage>> No, arresting some scientist working on behalf of Taiwan is more likely, and convict him by New York Times <g> <<And some could suggest that the Chinese military actually wanted to create this situation in order to undermine economic reforms and openess that will eventually challenge their influence in Chinese politics.>> I think the military on both sides were simply doing their respective jobs, and an accident happened due to a lack of tag game protocol. I am, however, as puzzled as you on the immediate next steps. My contacts in China are good for post facto analysis, not for real time monitoring. Chugs, Jay
