A CHINESE SLAP IN THE FACE

The Chinese government denied the USS Kittyhawk permission to dock in Hong Kong. No big deal, except that many family members of the crew of the Kittyhawk flew to Hong Kong from Japan, planning to spend a holiday with their loved ones. Even though China later granted permission, it was too late, since the ship had already put out to sea. Just another slap in the face by the Chinese government.
