Have a great trip, DS. What a lucky guy! Post us some pictures when you are on the Great Wall. You will see China's incredible new faces of modernization besides the Wall & the ancient palaces (you should be in Shanghai too). After your trip, you will not worry the Americans doing anything bad to us - they are too busy trying to figure out what to do with a powerful and advancing new China; to be a friend (wow, all that market potential), or to be a foe (don't the Yankees like this one to keep their defence industry booming).
Bush will learn next time not to bluff China again and fool himself like the last spy-plane incidence.
Your Christmas message is so right to the point. Thank you. Have a great Christmas and a safe, happy & prosperous New Year to all. May the FISH BE WITH YOU in the coming year.
Tight line.
