Bush 'Plans Iran Air Strike by August'
"PaPaPeng" wrote in message ... The Government of China does not hire individuals or outside firms to advice it on policies and on PR matters. That is, I'm afraid, terrifyingly true. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

No but I was the persons who initiated the contact with USTTA president Steenhoven on behalf of UMCP Chancellor Charles Bishop to help arrange the premier venue of the tour, the match at Cole Field house. This was the only large venue inside the Washington beltway (12,000 seats) "1972: A ping-pong match between the United States and the People's Republic of China is played at Cole, the first sporting event between the two countries." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Field_House It was my first date with Dr. Ruth. We met Henry Kissinger First impression of Kissinger was? Joe |

We met Henry Kissinger Vince The 1972 ping pong diplomacy had a lot of press even if it is only Cole Field House archives. Surely you can produce one of those articles with your photo or name on it. Or did those make it to the Mars Mission already. My initial impression of your claim was that you were in the group that went to Beijing from Tokyo. Have you ever been to Beijing or to China? If so or if not on what basis do claim to speak of expertise on what is happening in China and the prevailing public mood there? |

Chinese don't do the Washington spin thing. The blowback is not worth the trouble as Dubya should realize by now. Anyway the former ambassador was on his way to a higher post in Beijing. It's very rare for a career official to make a personal comment. This article was a lucky catch on an important point. Do realize that had there been a contract with Spielberg there is a fine point in law called A Breach of Contract. Spielberg would have been sued off his pants for unilaterally and impulsively breaking it. Its safe to assume he will never work in China again. Same with Sharon Stone and some rude pop diva. YOu need to read the BS coming out of China now as they try to spin the damage in the earthquake areas -- "Oh Norman, listen! The loons are calling!" - Katherine Hepburn, "On Golden Pond" |

Its a moot point anyway. Agreed that the Chinese govt. or rather the Beijing OC, isn't that petty to go suing petty annoyances or even big annoyances. The Chinese govt. just does what it does because it has better things to do than provide free publicity to people like Spielberg. China craved having someone of Spielberg's stature on board to boost their standing in the world. -- "Oh Norman, listen! The loons are calling!" - Katherine Hepburn, "On Golden Pond" |
