| #12 Shorter conversation I had with a China Strong! CS: China was making noodles for a 1000 years before the Italians! Me: So why do the Italians have 1000 types of pasta, and China is still eating the same noodle? |

| #11 ..what I noticed is that they are often locked into linear thought patterns. That they're very good at. There is less ability to 'think outside the box' or make intuitive jumps in logic or reasoning. |

| #4 When China and the US were letting each other tour their ships years ago, a couple sailors I knew said the Chinese had a very minimal to no knowledge of fire fighting and damage control. They still have a very caste like system where only the lowest are trained in those activities. The US learned the hard way in early WW2 that every sailor was a fire fighter and damage control worker and all of our boys and girls are trained in it. Estimates from those sailors on the survival of a Chinese ship that was hit was poor, where a western naval ship would be able to survive and get back to port while being able to fight. From what little we can see of the pics, the fire fighting skill of the people there was very poor and it looks like the fire spread pretty well along most of the ship. |

| #3 Live damage control practice followed by live repair turn around practice? There is no substitute for hands on training when learning a new skill. |

| #2 ...If I were a betting man, I'd say an undermanned work force working through illness and panic. But I'm sure it's saboteurs and wreckers. Mike |
