That's No Lady, That's My Wife!

The Chinese are upset about our military's report on China's military.

This seemed to really set off some newspapers. Including this complaint:

"The report even more insultingly says that China, out of concern for energy needs, has been enhancing ties with countries that violate human rights, support international terrorism and engage in nuclear proliferation," said the People's Daily.

"The 2007 annual report again seeks to mislead international opinion by using erroneous claims."

Iran? Sudan? Burma? North Korea? Zimbabwe? Surely we couldn't mean these good friends of China are human rights violators, support terrorism, or proliferate nuclear technology? Really, this is an outrage! These allies of China are just misunderstood! Victims of circumstance, to be sure!

I mean, the very idea that China associates with known hoodlums! How dare we insinuate anything of the sort! Ludicrous!

I fill downright silly now that the Chinese press has pointed out this erroneous claim.
