One of the nasty cracks about the CIA (made by competing military intelligence people) was that they were Yale alumni who weren't smart enough to get into law school.

Contrasting the drive-thru incident with the success of China economic growth in the past 10 years, it appears the smart, mature poepl went to certain agencies and other parts of the government got second or third choice.

Another view is that China doesn't see the US as serious threat, and thus is not asssigning their best people to the US.

It gets funnier the more I think about it.
