I find it strange they sent ice skaters to meet the US Secretary of State. Look at the smilling commununist buffoon behind Secretary Rice.

Condi probably is happier meeting real people anyway.
It is, of course safe to say that anyone She meets there will be specially selected.

The Chinese are strong believers in protocol. I believe that Secretary Rice will be treated with due respect. I lived for several years in China. I think that there is a lot of fascination and curiosity about the US, although the Chinese are also very patriotic and are jealous of the US's standing in the world and would like to see China take a similarly big role on the world stage. Individually, people for the most part were friendly -- you don't see the visceral anti-Americanism that one can get from Europeans, unless there is something that directly affronts their honor, like the Belgrade embassy bombing.

Thanks, but those jackets just aren't sexy enough for me to wear.

Condi was a pretty darned good ice skater. That could be the link.

She's an ardent ice skating fan, and apparently quite good at it herself.

Condi is thinking;
" China is breakable. They're skating on thin ice."

Condi was an Ice Skater thats probably why they did it. Trying to make her feel comfortable. Sort of like what they did in Europe when they had her go to the conservatory and listen to the classical music. Since she plays the piano.
