Shenhua at 21 or even 29 was certainly a better bargain than BTU. Bush will not be president for very much longer.

Recall when Bush began to be president in 2001, he immediately picked some fight with China, shooting down a Chinese plane over Chinese territory. No. A Chinese fighter jet and a US surveillance aircraft collided. en.wikipedia.org The Hainan Island incident was the April 1, 2001, collision between a United States Navy EP-3E signals reconnaissance aircraft and a People’s Liberation Army Navy J-8IIM fighter jet that resulted in an international incident between the United States and China. The EP-3, assigned to Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron One (VQ-1) had been operating about 70 miles (110 km) away from the Chinese island of Hainan, when the craft was intercepted by two J-8IIM fighters. A collision resulted between the wing of the EP-3 and one of the J-8s, which caused the death of the J-8’s pilot, Wang Wei, while the EP-3 was forced to make an emergency landing on Hainan. The international status of the incident’s location is a large source of controversy; the Chinese claimed it as part of their “air territory” where the US claimed it was “international airspace” as per UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The dispute is also mired in controversy of the EP-3’s earlier overflight of various South China Sea islands which are claimed by China (among other national powers). To date no official resolution on the territorial status has been settled by the US, China or the UN.
