My Comment: For the past two weeks all of my friends and contacts in China have been asking me on what is my take on the ongoing turmoil in Ukraine. Yesterday .... the roles were reversed. The Chinese are in shock with what has happened .... with some of them calling this their own 9/11. But what is striking everyone there is the randomness of the attack. Everyone in China uses the trains .... and everyone is being left with the feeling that it could have been them.
