Imagine the scandal and the outrage in the
bourgeois media if it had
been the other way around and the Chinese had been caught installing
listening devices in "Air Force 1", the U.S presidential jet!!!
As it was the Americans who were caught do this to the Chinese, this
story will barely make a blip in the U.S media.....if it gets mentioned at
all. Hypocrites!

Reuters. 19 January 2002. China Says President's Jet Bugged - FT.
LONDON -- China has said its intelligence officers
found more than 20 spying devices in a Boeing 767
meant to become President Jiang Zemin's official plane
after it was delivered from the U.S., the Financial Times
said on Saturday.
Citing Chinese officials, the newspaper said it was unclear
when the aircraft was fitted with the bugs, said to be tiny
and operated by satellite.
The devices were detected after the plane emitted a strange
static whine during test flights in China in September, shortly
after it was delivered. One device was found in a lavatory
and another in the headboard of the presidential bed.
The discovery came ahead of a planned summit between
President Bush and Jiang in Beijing next month.
Jiang was said to be furious about the find, the FT said.
The aircraft was made at the Boeing factory in Seattle
and then fitted with VIP equipment and upholstery by
another company. The plane was under surveillance by
Chinese officials throughout, the newspaper said.
Boeing had no comment on the report but spokeswoman
Debbie Heathers told Reuters a 767-300ER plane,
which was delivered to Delta Air Lines in June 2000, was
re-sold to China United Airlines -- the air force-run airline
that ordered the aircraft -- and customized for executive use
by Jiang Zemin by a modification company in Texas.
A Delta spokesman said he had no immediate comment.
A source close to the transaction told Reuters the maintenance
on the aircraft between the time it left Delta Air Lines and the
time it was sold to China United Airlines was carried out by
Dee Howard Aircraft Maintenance in San Antonio, Texas.
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had no comment,
according to Saturday's Washington Post.
