#1 Such a warning just must be agonizing for the Chinese authorities. They have to say, but they don't want to say, but it will be worse if they don't say, but no matter what happens it will be unpleasant for them. Lots of arguments on either side.

I doubt it. Too many foreigners in China without minders. And too many Chinese traveling abroad without minders. No way to keep this kind of stuff secret. Note also that Chinese journalists routinely pass on material they are not allowed to publish to the foreign media.

#4 Shep, I don't know about suicide bombers, but China has over a 1,000 bombings a year. You might try searching the archives. Zhang and I commented on it a while back.
