It's the PR game. We have, in action, declared war on China. We are not
a possision to be able to execute that option, and the public would not
support it. So, we cover our ass and hope they don't sink one of our

connections to China within a year.

country, and every day, and for crimes much more significant that just
criminal threatening and robbery.
