The Chinese Alarm Clock Do not hit the snooze button too many times. The loss of our U. S. Navy EP-3 electronic surveillance aircraft and the holding of its crew hostage was the best thing that could have happened to us.
Nothing grabs attention like a hostage situation.
Even with Communist Chinese apologists added to the news mix for balance, the American public was treated to a vaccination against the cute chinese syndrome. We are not dealing with Panda Bears anymore. The hard line military leaders appear to be more in control than we ever suspect. One with the U. S. State Department, the other with the Chinese Communist military leaders. There are many signs that the Chinese Communist military forces are more in control than we suspected.
