I wasn't aware that George Bush was voicing any sentiments similar to
mine. I would rather have expected him to be extending warm
congratulations to China. Which are also appropriate on such an
occasion; this is an achievement. I am only not entirely happy about
it because I saw China as a problem before it happened.

That may be so but the first reaction form the American administration
shows nothing much has changed since 1958.

Really?

What *was* the first reaction to Shenzhou 5 from the American
administration?

Well on the BBC news, a talking head in the administration popped up
and said bla bla bla then 'it's a threat to National Security'.
