Personal prediction: I expect China to come out with some kind of statement, very soon. Maybe tomorrow, at least this week. They will state their displeasure over the sale. There will be some other reference, or veiled threat implied.

When their statement comes out, we should scrutinize the statement to see what they mean. They may divulge what their next move is.

The point about the Chinese is: never underestimate them. They never bullshit, like RumsFailed or Bush. They mean what they say. It's never done in a cavalier way like the Bush people. They're low-key, and they mean business. "Speak softly and carry a BIG stick" is their motto.

If I were Bush, I'd be sweating bullets right about now. Doesn't he have enough headaches?
