#6  Reciprocity is between equals. There are no equals, only superior and inferior. China has not lived up to what we'd expect as reciprocal access. Why should they? When we invite them unrequested? This is a sign of weakness, that only invites contempt.

#5  Not all is as it might seem. Unless Barry has specifically forbit it, there could be some reciprocity arrangements which would enable us to attend their upcoming events as well. The opposing force principals may be encouraged to bring along an entourage of juriors, members of press, etc. Much can be learned from their personalia, specific areas of interest and curiousities. Correctly organized, these events can become very lucrative feeding opportunities.

#4  Stupid, the Chinese bring every spy tool they can think of, then chuckle wondering why the big white Westerners are so fallible. Surely they are ripe for the picking in the next big war.
