Stiff Upper Lip
Britain gags its Olympians. It’s the Daily Mail, but they do quote named sources. As a values clarification exercise, given the choice of confronting China by:
1) spending a trillion dollars to plant as much American military force as possible around the country’s perimeter;
2) letting Paula Radcliffe slag the Chinese leadership for free;
I’ll take the latter.

I would really be very doubtful of this story. About the only reliable bit of the Daily Mail is the TV listings.

Really, if you want slavish devotion to the Chinese, you can’t beat Mr. “We’re really really really really sorry you shot down our airplane” Bush.
