#5 The Chinese discovered the cure to a limp dick a thousand years ago. Maybe we should get them to export some of it to us.

#6 Nov. 28 2007 (Bloomberg) -- China, which denied a U.S. aircraft carrier permission to dock in Hong Kong for Thanksgiving, also recently refused access to two minesweeping ships seeking refuge from a storm, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific said.

The USS Patriot and USS Guardian were forced to refuel at sea and return to their homeport of Sasebo in Japan when China refused their request for shelter in Hong Kong, Admiral Timothy Keating told reporters in Washington yesterday.

China's denial violated an ``unwritten law among seamen that if someone is in need'' you give them safe harbor, Keating said in a video conference from his headquarters at Camp Smith, Hawaii, according to a transcript. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement today the applications to dock weren't made in a ``timely fashion.''

The incidents came about two weeks after Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited China seeking greater cooperation between the two countries and more transparency from the government in Beijing about its military buildup.

The USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, accompanying ships and about 8,000 crew members were scheduled to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Hong Kong when China denied the U.S. Navy permission to dock.

This news is of course a couple notches up on the huevometer.

Sounds like Dilbert's boss works in China's Foreign Ministry now.

#15 So if China doesn't want the US Navy ships in that sea and North Korea denies it sunk the warship...

You know if a Chinese Sub sunk the South Korean warship they could all be telling the truth...

Just saying....
