Just my 2 cents - take it for what it is worth...
Frankly, I don't know why we can't all just "get along" and quite this rooster posturing by both China and US. Frankly, I wonder if either side will be able to save face and settle this in a peaceable manner.
As far as the American bashing goes: Keep in mind that it is ALWAYS wrong to hate in the plural. I may not always support what our "elected leaders" do, but I have never hated one country for what one person did.
There may have always been spies - but the rules of the air are the same by sea - the small and manuverable must give way to the big and cumbersome. The Chinese pilot had a reputation for "hotdogging" and was trying to give the US plane a scare... and they were really in US air space.. even as China keeps extending the line.
A war between US and China would be in neither's interest.. and I am hoping the leaders of both countries realize this. It would not only devastate two countries, but it would impact the world's economy, the enviornment and in other ways that cannot be predicted.
There really is no debate here - unless you just want to bash one country over another.. I thought we got past that on the internet... no borders here.
