I have read that the Chinese people are upset with the U.S. for the collision, but these reports seem to come from China's government controlled media. They are definitely NOT being told our side of the story. They are only being told the Chinese version which is very inflammatory and incorrect. When you throw a match into that gasoline it goes off and the match has been thrown in. There is a genuine feeling of outrage on the part of the Chinese people but it is sort of an emotional thing, it is not logical.
Logic is simply absent.
It is a bunch of clich s that they repeat, which in this case often are not true. So, yes there is outrage, yes there is indignation, but there is a lot of that on our side too. Unfortunately I do not think that it will have much effect because I think the Chinese see them as two very separate cases with different objectives in each case. They didn't expect it. They reacted to it in a rather fumbling way and got the facts wrong.
