Rings true on the surface and may once have served their interests, but Chinese arms in a cave doesn't prove aid tacit or otherwise, from the PRC, and citing Debka doesn't add credibility to the idea.
The PRC doesn't (yet) wish a confrontation from it's biggest trading power, though they are pushing the envelope in their increased appetite for oil and support for sh*t heels like Chavez.
Of course, the PRC is divided, between Nomenklatura and Army the latter probably acting a lot like the Japanese Army prior to Pearl Harbor, thinking the U.S. speread too thin and Taiwan ready for the plucking. And, the long term goal is to drive the U.S. out of the West Pacific.
This is not their style, though.
Interesting how the PRC seems so tolerant of Islam and so intolerant of Christ. Interesting how they show so little interest in North Korea, except to contain refugees (can you imagine, fleeing North Korea to China? Riking getting caught, returned, and executed.)
I wonder if this is a diversionary manuver... Didn't OBL specifically target Red States prior to Election Day?
This is all very strange.
