"No considerations of Chinese pride or special political circumstances can excuse this kind of behavior, which exposes the whole world to risk. "

Continuing my rant against the odd person who apparently put their name on this article, I am wondering what political and cultural sensitivities I am lacking that make me unable to understand under what circumstances it might have been understandable for Chinese pride or "special political circumstances" to have excused this 'behavior?'

Is 'special political circumstances' like TWA 800, where a presidencial election is imminent?

correction: If this is a product of a chinese bioweapon program (as some un-corroborated posts have stated), their behavior under these circumstances would seem to be the norm for any gov't, and maybe even a little soft for an eastern dictatorship. At least it ain't no Captain Trips.
