It was bound to happen, but you gotta love the timing…those of us who either yawped with rage (or at the very least smirked knowingly) when Beijing authorities chose last Christmas to sentence Liu Χiaοbο can at least yawp easier knowing that the Obama crew has decided to call the same play. Yep, the much anticipated meeting with the DL will take place during the week of the Spring Festival, when the attention of most Chinese is focused on important matters such as family, dumplings, alcohol, and the use of small children and cigarettes to fire off highly unsafe explosive devices.
Proving once again that there is much that “The West” can learn from China. Don’t believe me? Just ask Canada….
