Yes Shash, you can suppose that...it's a rather large conspriacy theory, I agree, and Canada would have to be involved for any of this to have happened.
Nevertheless, when Canada did get involved, to think that China would not retaliate was foolhearty at least, completely retarded at worst.
If we're going to take their people, you can be sure they will drum up some charge against ours.
That was no surprise to either side, or souldn't hve been...
