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.

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.

That is called "following the party line"

it works on the brain dead followers.



With comic book attitudes like yours no wonder you people are in so
much trouble worldwide. As one of your ads said "Don't leave
home...."

Just a thought but Mr. Lui as a ³veteran diplomat and former Chinese
ambassador² may be doing what we in the US call ³spin².



Chinese don't do the Washington spin thing.



I have limited knowledge of Chinese culture but human nature being what
it is I find it hard to believe that the Chinese government, unlike every
other government in the world, is incapable of deciding to look at the
Œfacts¹ in a way that enhances their position.


The blowback is not worth
the trouble as Dubya should realize by now.



Not sure how "Dubya" entered the conversation.


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.



I don¹t discount that it could be true but that just leads to more
questions as I mentioned earlier. It sounds to me like a major screw-up
took place and everyone is busy covering their ass.


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.



No, I doubt that Spielberg would be sued over this point. It wouldn¹t
be worth the bad publicity for the Chinese government.


Its safe to assume he will
never work in China again. Same with Sharon Stone and some rude pop
diva.



Sharon Stone like most of us can say the stupidest things at times.

No doubt you were one of the original astronauts who landed on the
moon too.

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."

It was my first date with Dr. Ruth. We met Henry Kissinger


First impression of Kissinger was?

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?
