{EXCERPT} New York Times, United States The Pentagon lodged a formal protest
Wednesday with the Chinese military after senior American naval commanders said
they were perplexed and troubled,...

"But, the U.S. went ahead and sold Taiwan Patriot II missile systems
and related equipment," the captain was quoted as saying. "This
obviously sends Chen Shui-bian a wrong signal. That is why a lot of
activity between China and America was stopped." The captain told The
Global Times that Washington had behaved irrationally by trying to go
ahead with the Hong Kong visit after it had announced the Patriot
sale. "Under normal circumstances, the U.S. Navy should have changed
its port visiting plans," the captain said.

No, this cannot be true. The Chinese spokesperson is lying. I read on
s.c.c the truth from LT Lee ;-)
