I saw this come through yesterday, and haven't seen it on FR yet. I thought it was relevant.

This hearkens back to one of those instances in which GWB in his first months of office did not push back against the PRC. Because of 9/11 just months afterward that incident got little sustained attention. I hope DJT continues to show resolve.

Wong Wei flies again?

Here's the EPE-3 that PRC pilot crashed into all those years back near Hainan Island:

Out of control, they were desperately smashing up and chucking out sensitive stuff all the way to landing and then for some time after.

The entire nosecone came off, the body of the Chinese pilot (whose name --not kidding-- was WONG WEI) was never recovered.

The Chinese in fact did recover a LOT of stuff from the plane, though.

The crew were "guests" for about 10 days or so, as I recall.

There was a forma apology and some type of payment, as I recall.
