This is interesting. I saw the Chinese Ambassador on TV the other day
talking at the Press Club. I was surprised at how stern he was in voicing
China's displeasure over many aspects of American policy. I don't remember
all of what he said but, I do distinctly remember his demeanor and that I
was not expecting his almost combative speech. He talked about a litany of
"offenses." I think what surprised me the most is that there didn't seem to
be much diplomacy on his part. He dismissed the "rumor" that China had
stolen sensitive technical information stating that this insulted China's
scientists. He was quiet aggressive and frankly arrogant.
One of the "rumors" he did address was the threat of China attacking other
countries. He stated that it is against China's constitution to do that and
that America does not need to view China as a threat.
