The Toxic Texan did not anticipate the Chinese fallout, unfortunately. Experts Say Bush Wandered Off Course With Remarks The consensus is that Bush didn't anticipate the furor his comments would ignite, and wasn't fully prepared to navigate the arcane diplomatic terminology that has outlined China's and Taiwan's uneasy relationship for years. Excerpt of article by Charles Babington washingtonpost.com staff writer Thursday, April 26, 2001; 2:11 PM washingtonpost.com

At this point in time, the Chinese youth are upset with The United States. They are unhappy with the spy-plane incident, and they are unhappy that we bombed their embassy a few years back by mistake. I didn't read the article, but I believe it was in last Sunday's New York Times. I can't find it at the moment or I would give you the reference.

Chinese Students Look at America Excerpt from the article by By CRAIG S. SMITH From The New York Times April 22, 2001 "Shortly after the collision between a Chinese fighter jet and an United States spy plane, The New York Times contacted foreign English teachers across China to solicit comments about the affair, in English, from Chinese students. Most teachers rejected The Times's query as potentially dangerous for their students, but most students who received the request gave their views freely, with no apparent concern about the politically sensitive subject. Some of the comments below were submitted directly by e-mail. Others were handwritten as a class assignment and transcribed into e- mail. All reflect a growing concern about the future of United States- China relations. Every young Chinese who has some sense of justice and responsibility is irritated at Mr. Bush's overwhelming arrogance. It is clear that the American plane made the trouble. Most important of all, what was the American plane doing? Spying! Everyone knows that spies do not have the same freedom as others in international airspace. I want to say to Mr. Bush, don't be a fool to China! Stop the stupid game! Mr. Bush should learn to respect China, Asia and even Europe, not just act as a V.I.P. for the whole world. Don't earn political capital by putting the whole into chaos. See what you have done to North Korea, to Russia and to Europe. You will have to eat it all." nytimes.com ...............................................................*****************..................................... TP, rest of story is online.
