Give it up FLESH, I have. There is no reasoning with people when the only thing they know about China is what they've learned from our sensationalistic media. Then again, I guess we should all take the word of a leading Chinese dissident, someone who by definition hates China, as absolute truth.

Good point about Shandong, by the way. I'm surprised that they didn't claim that China and Russia were planning an invasion of Japan. Given the history, and Japan's attempts to re-write it, not to mention location, it would make more sense. Or even better, a signal that they're preparing to join their communist brothers in the DPRK and invade South Korea. I guess it's just far more fashionable to use the "T" word.
