4 April 2001 - Sino-American dialog

Chinese: You bombed our embassy in Belgrade.
American: Look, I’m sorry. It was an accident, OK?
Chinese: Then why did you hit the intelligence wing so accurately? Murderer!
American: You want to hear the story again?
Chinese: No! And now your spy plane has downed an innocent Chinese fighter.
American: I promise you, a propeller plane the size of an airliner can’t bump a jet fighter unless the fighter cooperates.
Chinese: Liar! We have proof! And that is why we are so frightened that we will never cooperate.
American: Huh?
Chinese: How could we stand up to it? Your technology... even when it goes wrong, it works perfectly.
