In the end you care more about Los Angeles than you do about Taipei.</b>"

Some of this politics of Ming is going overboard.

The misinterpretation of China's quote that led to people reading it as a threat beyond what we do to them is similar to some of the misinterpretation going around about Ming.

China will never bomb Houston while we have Ming!!!
