The Cold War is over - or did someone forget to mention it to you ?


Somebody needs to tell that to the USN VQ-1 EP-3 crew who were held
prisoner by the Chinese military several days before being allowed to
even speak with the outside world.


Compare that to Gary Powers' treatment if you want to make a Cold War comparison.

If the USA chooses to spy on the PRC, I'm unsurprised that the PRC wishes to try
and deter such action. I would be interested to see the reaction of the USA to
Chinese spy planes off its shores !
