Which were handled with complete respect and were given a proper burial at sea. They even filmed it:







Not something I expect to see from the ChiComs.

I noted that also; but scavenging is still scavenging: for espianage coups or pre-nuclear steel makes no difference; if your going to have rules about it! A double standard, or the appearance therof, is to be avoided. If we doth protest too much, the "surrounded and contained" world-hegemonic Chinkaderos are sure to bring it up!!

To heck with appearances and double standards. I have no problem comparing that one single instance and how it was handled with the many instances of Chinese war grave robbing for profit and how they were and continue to be handled.
