Terrorism is used by a an actor, sometimes state sponsored and sometimes non-state sponsored to coerece a state to change policy. Now, if you can find evidence that the U.S. bombed the Chinese Embassy in order to terrorize the Chinese into altering their policy you might have a point.

However, even that would not change that fact that the thugs that burned down the US Embassy are terrorists, no different than the thugs that bombed the US Embassies in Africa or one that bombs abortion clinics in the US.

But perhaps you are one of those that advocates the bombing of the United States of America if if furthers your agenda.

You tell me trumandogz...on one side you have:

a) The Chinese Embassy got bombed because of old maps provided by the CIA to the strategists that picked the places to bomb. Only problem was that until the Chinese Embassy got built at that location, the location was an empty lot. That is an empty lot with absoultely nothing that would be of interest for bombing (unless you think wasting a very expensive bomb on overgrown grass and weeds is a good move.)

on the other hand yoú have:

b) “rumours” that the Chinese were providing the Serb military with strategic information and in that way helping the Serbs move their artillery around among other things.

Now if you can get past your blind patriotism to see the bigger picture of things...which reason do you honestly believe was behind the Chinese Embassy bombing?

Personally I think you should be thanking GOD that the Chinese accepted the “official” reason of the bad maps. What I wonder is what America had to “pay” to get them to accept that reason.
