About the China incident, they have every right in the world to be pissed and keep our plane. We kept their planes for YEARS after the they ticked us off with Taiwan, or Tianaman Square. I forgot which. Anyway, we had a contract to repair a few of their fighters, then when they pissed us off, we quit working on them, seized them, and sent them a bill for storage!! You really think they are gonna forget that?

Bull **** !

Hey, guess what? China flies, has flown, and will continue to fly the SAME sorts of flights over INTERNATIONAL WATER as we do. The USSR has done the same thing and continues to do so. There was NOTHING illegal or COVERT about that flight. The only catch China has is that they claim a 200 mile cost line terratory. The only reason they do so is because they, Vietnam, and Korea all have claims to the Spratley Islands which are uninhabided, but appear to have large oil reserves.
