Contrast this with US getting a ferry

The difference between a competent, if utterly ruthless, government in China and an incompetent and corrupt government in the US. The US is waiting for luxury transport. China is using cargo ships to get their people out any way they can. Obama is indecisive and worried about image. China just wants to get their people out and worry about image later.

China's idea of spin control is that the winner writes history so just do what it takes to win and worry abut the rest later. That doesn't make China a fun place to live. But it does make them one seriously dangerous opponent.

Have you ever read Sun Tzu’s The Art Of War?..................

This is interesting because usually China doesn’t give a rat’s rear about losing a couple of thousand people.
These Chinese folks must be very valuable to the state run oil company. Is our gov getting our people out?

“China just wants to get their people out and worry about image later.”

Which is what responsible governments do.
