Meeting Expectations
Nancy Pelosi makes some unsurprising comments. Note the ridiculous photo. {sigh}
Tim Johnson passes on U.S. State Department advice about the possibility of tourists being bugged while in
Lots of other nutty stuff out there, from the press and government folks, that I will leave alone, at least for now.
And Josh explains how all this bad press could have been avoided. I agree with him.
“I don’t really think that your average tourist’s room is going to be bugged, particularly since we do not have segregated hotels here.”
The Chinese are equal opportunity buggers. They bug everyone, including themselves. Oh, by the way, who assigns rooms, you or the hotel people ? Do you think the hotel knows at least a few hours ahead of time which room will be for foreigners ?
Not sure how it is possible to bug every room in the country and monitor everything . . .
Also don’t think that hotels are that organized. Lot’s of foreign folks have Chinese names that make reservations. Hotel doesn’t know they are foreigners until they show up and give the front desk their ID.
Anyway, it’s more fun to be paranoid, I suppose.
