Why should this be mind-boggling? The Chinese want something they clearly
don't deserve: an apology for an event where there is no evidence of
wrong-doing on the part of the U.S. airmen (at least so far). Yes, regret is
different from an apology, and there is nothing wrong with expressing regret
for the incident and the loss of life of the Chinese airman. But an apology?
Not warranted.
And if you think an apology is *all* the Chinese want, think again. There's
more buried under the surface, you're just not seeing it.
