The Chinese involvement doesn't surprise me. They are a country that is every bit as lunatic as NKorea. The difference is that China has more resources and affluence.
Their regular military deals in the impractical, impossible, "they would never do such a thing" mentality. Who would ever have thought that a Chinese jet pilot would plow into an American Recon plane in international airspace, and they would hold the downed airmen for several weeks and interrogate them...lol, well they did it.
The wierd thing is...if the regular PLA would do this, would would the Chinese Intel and Covert Ops guys do? The impractical and improbable do not exist to the Chinese government.

I'm not sure if the Chinese are involved in this situation, but if it turned out they were, it wouldn't exactly shock me silly. In this particular situation, there is no proof yet that these four people are anything but pictures on passports. Definitely a rather unnerving situation right now.
Well said, imho.
To the totalitarian mind, everything is possible. We mustn't forget that at the end of the day, the CCP is made up of totalitarian minds. Thanks for your insights.
