"With the collapse of ______, China's government has embraced nationalism and nationalist causes in its search for new legitimacy." And it's working, not because it's the Chinese, but because those are buttons you can push in people the world over and get a reliable response. THAT's something to think about.

Anyone wanting to gauge the Chinese response should pay a visit to sina.com, where the largest, and probably the freest BBS in PRC is located, instead of few selected cut and paste from a smooth poster who doesn't even want you to read the whole article.

For every anti-American post at sina.com, I see a few posts expressing sympathies, even condemnation of the terrorist act. Among the ones that're indeed anti-American; which are clearly totally brainwashed by the state media on Belgrade Chinese embassy bombing and EP3 incident; most of the posts qualify their opposition to US policies with sympathies for the dead.

j_accuse, you and I both know that China surely won't cause problems down at the Panama Canal, surely not! - but, since China, as of June 16, (just 3 months ago)- was caught smuggling weapons/arms/munitions into Cuba- -there is no way that China would have already smuggled any arms or short-range missiles into Panama...correct??
Isn't that your stand on this Panama issue ie. no way China would smuggle anything, including short-range missile parts into Panama - isn't this your position j_accuse (you too jade?)?
