In all fairness to the Reuters news agency, they may simply have felt that Mr. Luo’s statement would be misunderstood if taken out of context. I really don’t believe that Mr. Luo meant that the Chinese people are filled with a burning hatred of everything American, or a passion to destroy us. Saying “We hate you guys” is obviously a humerous/rhetorical means of expressing the fact that, while they certainly don’t like the Fed for pursuing a policy which is sure to (eventually) devalue our currency, there isn’t anything they can do about it.

It’s not at all comparable to Kruschchev’s “We will bury you!”

Regards,

What this man said WAS the story. I don't know if you're right - but I know if the whole story had been printed there might have been some follow up so we'd know what this man was really saying. Personally, I prefer my answers from the horse's mouth.
