My comment:
(a) I read the report yesterday and thought nothing about it. Alothgh I thought Mr. Chen’words were sharp, I was under the impression that this was the tome of US-China dialogue on arms sale to Taiwan. Apparently the meeting is unusual, as BBC, VOA and New York Times all report about it.

(c) Temporarily I can’t find the report in NY Times, which I read this morning. I will file a supplemental posting tomorrow.

My comment:
(a) VOA mentions

but China’s version of the event shows nothing extraorfinary
(b) The note in New York Times emphasizes General George Casey’s forthfulness on the issues.
(c) Perhaps this interchanges (between US and Chinese military chiefs) prompts this analysis

("美国波音公司制造的F-18超级大黄蜂战机 * * * 另一家以美国为基地的公司洛克希德.马丁公司将随后出场，让该公司的F-16飞机完成战术动作。参加竞标这项庞大合同的其他机型是俄罗斯的米格35、法国的拉法叶、瑞典的'鹰狮'和欧洲战机'台风'”)

Compare
"Boeing's (BA.N) F/A-18 Super Hornet, France's Dassault Rafale, Lockheed Martin Corp's (LMT.N) F-16, Russia's MiG-35, Sweden's Saab (SAABb.ST) JAS-39 Gripen and the Eurofighter Typhoon, produced by a consortium of European companies, are in the race for the contract."

Note:
(a) Dassault Rafale
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafale
(translation of French noun “rafale” in English is “squall”—a gust of wind)
(b) JAS 39 Gripen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAS_39_Gripen
(translation of Swedish noun “gripen” in English is “griffin”)

(2) In the last line attached below, "forthfullness" was incorrect; it should be "forcefulness."
