The U.S.-China Standoff

April 11, 2001 | Issue 37•13

Last week, China detained 24 Navy officers after their spy plane collided with a Chinese jet. What do you think about the escalating tensions between the two nations?

Young Man

"Tell me about it. One of my spy planes went down over China once, and I had a bitch of a time getting it back."

Asian Man

Bob Rolen,
Cashier
"If a Chinese spy plane crash-landed in California after knocking down one of our jets, I'm sure we'd give it right back."

Old Woman

Yvonne Goltz,
Librarian
"Can't we just send China a fruit basket or something?"

Old Man

Richard Grolier,
Consultant
"Damn Truman! We should cross the Yalu River and invade the Chinese mainland! We must halt the spread of Communism at all costs!"

Black Man

Will Franklin,
Systems Analyst
"And Bush was so close to world peace before this, too."

Young Woman

Gina Jeffries,
Violinist
"This is a great chance for Bush to show the world that he appears to be tough."
