China's military has sold Iran high-speed catamaran missile patrol boats, according to defense and intelligence officials.

The first of the new C-14 patrol boats was observed by U.S. military intelligence recently inside an Iranian port, according to officials familiar with intelligence reports.

The magazine article stated that the State Department's interpreter was forced out of the meeting and that Mr. Pillsbury's interpretation misled the Chinese vice president into falsely believing Mr. Rumsfeld was set for a full-scale resumption of U.S.-Chinese military exchanges. The Pentagon later disputed official Chinese press reports that said that.

This is another common problem among PRC Chinese. They don't listen. They exhibit selective listening and reading and apply what they want to hear.

I call it the 'magister disease'...or 'put words in other people's mouths disease'.

Probably one of the biggest pro-ponents of the CCP in Washington DC is Senator Rockefeller from WV. He needs a ticket out of the Senate in this election.

William Reinsch isn't any better either...

He is the sole dissenter to the measures recommended by the USCC to prevent the use of Chinese prison labor

This official said Mr. Moriarity has criticized Mr. Rumsfeld in interagency discussions for supposedly being ignorant about Chinese affairs, despite the fact that Mr. Rumsfeld has traveled to China several times.

Ignorant? Oh, now thats a joke. These are the first people up there in ages that actually know what is going on...

One side knows exactly what is going on, and addresses the problems therein.

The other, pretends to know, tells everyone everything is hunky dory, and accuses the other of 'being ignorant', yet they turn a blind eye to any issue that might make the CCP look bad. The whole basis for their argument is that the US 'needs' China do its manufacturing...They also think the US has no place whatsoever to challenge China. In their minds 'China is the morally correct of the two' and 'America is a big old, evil troublemaker...'

The latter are the truly ignorant. Hopefully these people will be purged from all levels of government and "intelligence".

The China apologists are blinded by their own ideologies. They don't like any facts messing up what they believe in.
