One important fact that I didn't know where to put is that just because
a tourist company is controlled by the PLAN doesn't mean that it isn't
a real tourist company. The PLA ran a whole series of businesses in
the 1990's. Most of those have been spun off.

Personally, I think that the people who bought the carrier really do
want to turn it into a floating casino. If the PLAN gets to look at
it while it gets turned into a casino, so much the better.

Something else that probably deserves mentioning is that in the late-1990's,
a Chinese shipping company got a contract to salvage an Australian
carrier, and reportedly, PLAN officers were all over the carrier as it
was being disassembled.
