You need to learn to read posts. I said I entertained myself with these exchanges.

Actually, you didn't say anything about yourself being the source of your entertainment. You might want to learn to read your own posts, or at least to not keep changing your story around whenever you're caught being inconsistent.

But thanks all the same for acknowledging that you're not here to make a point.

It must have something to do with using a press pass fraudulently, or for a subverted purpose. Even that should garner her some slap on the wrist. I can't imagine her being prosecuted over it. She didn't seek to harm the foreign dignitary.

It had nothing to do with improper use of a press pass, or disrupting a public function. The charge was "willfully intimidating, coercing, threatening and harassing a foreign official." That means it could have been applied to her if she had said the same thing to him on the street. That's a huge abuse of the law by the authorities, and it should cause alarm to everyone.

As I have said before, I cannot believe we're doing China's bidding on this. I agree with your comments.

We have caved on every moral aspect I can think of in the quest for Chinese approval. We even allowed them knock our aircraft out of the air in international airspace, without so much as a hickup in our relations.

They must laugh their asses off behind close doors.

What's so "sad" about it? Perhaps you think Government officials should not be allowed to have ANY public function that is not open to hecklers, rioters and every other form of protest imaginable?

Murdering, commie despots should get no rest from hecklers, actually they deserve to be thrown into the middle of those they have oppressed & tortured and face what justice they deserve.
