What is truly amazing to me is the fact that the leadership in China seem oblivious to the fact the the internet rendered ones ability to propagate a lie like the Chinese version of what happened. The true story is essentially out and the what the world knows is that the Chinese had one dumb pilot and an entire government lead by the truly stupid who have a hissy fit over refusing to lends assistance to those who life is in danger because of one of China's stupid own. This was a minor lose opportunity that could have been turned into a win with a Chinese admitting what happened. The Chinese leadership chose instead to make it into a major Lose, Lose, Lose situation. The fact that these guys still think they can control the message that the people see is so retarded. I also expect that a severe backlash in America against Chinese Goods will have for a time a measurable impact on the economy of China. This may cause some problems in America, but it could be very dramatic in China. This could lead to a collapse of the dumb commies in charge. A substantial shift in manufacturing could occur where trade goes to other Asian nations. It will be interesting to see what happens. tom watson tosiwmee
