Thanks, Web!
In response to es1's reply to my post yesterday (I only get 1 post per day), I never said the study wasn't finished. I stated that I didn't believe for a second it was finished AND the Chinese didn't like the results. I hope that's clear enough.
As for Web's link, I know some struggle to translate these pages, so here's the text. It's further confirmation that a great deal is happening we aren't privy to. And, again, the Chinese work on their schedule, not yours.
