#3 Does this make up for that Chinese pianist playing that nationalist Red Chinese piece for President Obama at the White House? Can the argument be made that this is what happens when the Chinese play face games? (Because this is what happens -- had they not started it, nobody would really care.)

#4 What really hurt was that Obama sang along.
