7. Delete news related to the youtan poluo flower. [Buddhist lore says this rare and auspicious flower blooms once every 3,000 years. Reports that a nun at a temple in southern China found a cluster of the tiny flowers under her washing machine set off a recent stir in the press. Chinese officials are concerned about the spread of superstition.]
8. For the “poisonous cowpea incident” in Hainan, only use news articles from the Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily and the official Hainan media. [Cowpeas from Hainan Province were found to be contaminated with a toxic pesticide, setting off criticism about why the cowpeas were sold to other provinces.]
9. Do not feature news reports on major incidents in Beijing during the two meetings, including “staffer at Xidan Books Building hacks manager to death” or “accident at Shunyi car showroom, one man dies.” Do not highlight the timing of these events.

    “Our current ECONOMIC CONTEST with China most likely will have huff and bluff about it but most likely no bombs and outright physical blows.”

    This is China, a product of a thousand years of cultural “superiority” and of the brute intimidation mindset.

    There will be outright physical blows.

    China is a brute and tyrant. Too calculating to engage in an open war (it would lose for a variety of reasons which they understand) but hardly afraid of acts of aggression or intimidation.

    Remember: one of Bush’s early test was China colliding a fighter jet against a US surveillance plane forcing its crew to land.

    Obama *WILL* be tested at some point.
