I'm not suggesting they would or that they could, but perhaps you know, that Chinese government should close all sweatshops and stop buying US Treasury bonds just to teach the Jack Caffertys a lesson and get them to understand how lucky they are thanks to the very existence of those "goons and thugs" they so despise.

It's not worth it to be angry over remarks by Americans who should have known better. Americans, as Chinese to be sure, can be very ignorant. One time back in 1989, in Honolulu as a matter of fact, I was talking to a proud middle-aged American man during the break of a seminar when he, totally out of the blue, asked me: "Do you have electricity in China?"

Stunned and lacking in tact, I replied: "No, we don't. But we do have nuclear weapons."

"Up to our eyeballs" from Mr. Cafferty, by the way means nothing more than "very much". Variously "up to the ear", "up to the neck" and "up to here" (pointing to one's throat), "up to our eyeballs" functions as an adverb and is used in situations one finds intolerable.

I find Mr. Cafferty very educating, aside from intolerable of course. Don't you think?

Even if Chinese bloggers are fed up to the throat with him.
