Default Chinese test

This event seems to be a huge miscalculation on their part. Surely someone
in their government must have realised that this is dangerous to their
reputation and hence their image in the world?

I mean, if anyone can prove it was debris from this which damages any
vehicle, I can see some heavy legal costs coming soon.

Let us hope it al re enters quickly and they do not repeat it. Considering
its been reported on many ordinary news broadcasts, and the stress is on the
debris angle not the implication from the military angle, I think they have
miscalculated badly here.

Unless they are thinking of becominga huge protection racket, IE, pay us or
we will blow up your vehicle... hardly likely!
