China pleased after watching U.S. wargames

What’s wrong with this picture?

Chinese military observers said Thursday that observing U.S. military exercises in the Pacific this week gave them a better understanding of U.S. weapons and tactics.

What’s not for them to be happy about here? They got a box-seat view of US capabilities. (The better to devise means of countering them?!) The US gets – nothing.

Delegation leader Rear Adm. Zhang Leiyu called the visit to the war games near Guam “a positive step in China-U.S. military ties,” the official Xinhua News agency reported.

This leads to fuzzy-brained moonbattery at its worst:

Zhang’s assessment of the exercises will likely be welcomed by exchange advocates, who argue Chinese exposure to advanced U.S. capabilities reduces the chances of misunderstandings or clashes.

Right – if we tell them everything we are doing, that will make them trust that we aren’t trying to surprise them, and this will make them be nice to us.

Yeah. Right. If you believe THAT about the ChiComs, please e-mail me about a great bargain I have for tropical beachfront property here in Moody County, South Dakota. It won’t be necessary fory you to visit to inspect it first either, you can take my word for it, right?
