Does that include US military or quasi-military aircraft helping South American allies shoot down missionary planes, too?

Do you mean that's the best response you could eek out for convincing Americans not to boycott Chinese goods?

Have you noticed that the US plane was unarmed?

Did you bother to notice that the Peruvian Air Farce are the ones who shot it down?

The US doesn't have a whole lot of control over the air forces of other nations.

Unlike the Chinese, who have UTTER CONTROL over the acts of their pilots.

Care to try again??

Btw, do you know how many troops/police the Chinese have contributed to UN peace-keeping missions?

Do you know how much money China contributes to the UN as a percentage of their GDP..

You'd be surprised who little Bejing's contributions in exchange for that permanent seat on the security council they hold.
