There were no Chinese Paramilitary troops policing the crowds in SF. There was a group of Chinese paramilitary soldiers securing the Olympic Flame. Please get the facts straight.
Now, that being said, who the hell authorized Chinese soldiers to guard anyone?
That was the nexus of MY question: Just who the hell authorized the Chicoms to guard anything?? Was there some question that American security wasn’t up to the job — or was there some other, much more subliminal purpose for the Chicoms to be here? Given that it was the socialist (that’s a communnist who hasn’t YET learned to use a firearm) enclave of SF, I suspect there was.
