#2 Thanks for the interesting post, Zheng.

I figured if the attacker was not a Muslim, he might be an Eric Rudolph style xenophobe.

#5 Boxers? Strange, to take it out on Americans. Unlike the other foreigners involved in that last dust up, America made no real territorial claims. Unlike the other countries, the US turned the Boxer Rebellion Indemnity around and created an education scholarship fund. Early flicker of the American approach to rebuilding rather than razing one's losing opponent. Then again it may be that we all sort of look the same to them :)

#6 Reminds me of a Steve Berry plot, only it was a suicidal knight symbolically throwing himself off a tower.

They probably don't have time for such nuances in the history lessons.

Ethnocentricity, not time, is really the issue. Chinese history is a series of morality plays where Chinese characters personify good, and non-Chinese characters personify evil.
