So if they cannot pull off bombings in S. Korea where APEC Summit is to be held this week, Guangzhou, China is one of alternative targets in E. Asia?
This is the T.M. post #1407, that I was quoting from, in relation to the threats in China.

"China Denies Report of Terrorist Threat in Beijing Hotels"
By Luis Ramirez
Beijing
10 November 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "China says a terrorism warning that appeared on
the U.S. Embassy in Beijing's Web site was fabricated, and the
embassy has withdrawn the statement.
The warning had appeared on an embassy web page that is meant to
keep American citizens in China informed on safety and health
information.
The message said Chinese police had warned that Islamic extremists
might be planning attacks on four and five-star hotels next week in
Beijing.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said the warning
was the work of an impostor.
"We took note of the report and doubled-checked immediately with
the Public Security Bureau," he explained. "The so-called attack threat
to luxury hotels is a fabrication by foreign nationals. Chinese police
never issued such a warning."
Mr. Liu gave no details on the identity of those behind the allegedly
phony warning or how that warning was conveyed to the U.S.
embassy."
