[War] China: "Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Worse"

"Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Worse"
 
President Xia Hong
People's Republic of China
March 6 (Apparently), 2013
===============================================
(Executive Residence-Beijing)
 
"Madame President?"
 
Nothing.
 
"Madame President?"  One of the senior disaster response specialists  took a 
step closer before stopping, simultaneously wanting Xia to wake up  without 
disturbing her.
 
Again nothing.
 
"Madame President..." this time he had no choice, and shook Xia's  arm.
 
In the small, state of the art office that was maintained in the  emergency 
response center of the executive residence, deep within the bowels of  the 
impressive building, Xia had found a comfort that simply didn't exist in her  own 
bed.  Fatigue had finally won out, but away from Wen, at least  momentarily, 
and ironically deluged by reports of disaster after disaster, her  mind had 
finally left the horrid events days before in her own bedroom, and she  was 
getting the first 'real' rest in the last week.  She didn't know what  straw it was 
that broke the proverbial camel's back... be it the public  conferences 
regarding North Korea, the volcanic explosion, or the long trail of  visits to 
South China to tour the damage and maintain confidence and hope in the  face of 
what was being billed as one of the worst natural disasters in recent  history, 
and certainly the most destructive one in memory for China.   Either way, she 
woke up with a start, and after a split second pulled her covers  over her 
instinctively.  She was used to sleeping in little more than a  slip, or perhaps 
a night gown when it was cold enough.  After 7 hours of  sleep, she'd been 
bleary enough to forget entirely that she'd fallen asleep in  office attire.
 
"Madame President, Xinhua is reporting another incident."
 
'Keep waking me up with the apocolypse and I'll have you shot.'  Xia  
jokingly thought to herself as she rubbed some of the fog from her eyes.   "What 
happened?"
 
"An airliner collided with a JAL plane.  Information is scant, but we  do 
know that at some point the aircraft collided with each other, causing  
significant damage to both planes.  There are almost certainly deaths, but  there are 
some unconfirmed reports that the United States Coast Guard found  survivors.  
We're still trying to determine who, and whether or not they're  Chinese."
 
Just great, and she'd gone to bed thinking the world couldn't get any worse  
over night than it already had.  Damn did she need a vacation.   "Please find 
out who had passage on that airliner, and who the crew was.   I'll inform the 
families myself, and send a personal request to the Americans to  help us 
search for survivors and recover the data recorders.  First, get me  the Ministry 
of Justice.  There's an investigation that needs to be tended  to."
=================================================
 
ACTIONS
 
1.  Introduce how Xia's killed the last week or so.
2.  Respond officially to the Incident.  First find out who was  involved, 
inform the families personally of what info is available, and call  upon the US 
for complete cooperation.
3.  Contact the Ministry of Justice to set up a separate, independent  
Chinese investigation.
