"The showing (by the Chinese community) was immense and very energetic, Stansfield said. "They had flags out and were singing their national anthem."

Not surprising. It's nice to have a friendly visit but singing their anthem is a bit much.

Some of them are just too obvious, like "but they will be hungry again in an hour". Then you can always talk about Chinese noodles too.....

The local "organization" knows when to ebb and flow the tide of companionship, so to speak.  I don't know if one Chinese ship would make much of a dent in the tide.

But it wouldn't surprise me if, 9 months from now, there are a few more welfare dependents with names more commonly known as menu items.

Jack Paar to Buddy Hackett:  "What do you think about Red China?"
"Well, it would be good on a yellow tablecloth."
