sorry
Yes Andre --- I believe this is a good example of an Apologia (now that I have an idea of what that means!). The question is why bother? My feeling is that the US had two ways to go: Acknowledge their mistake using an Apologia or ignoring the incident which would have escalated the situation. The Chinese, no doubt knew it was a false apology, but it allowed them to save face.
