I note that someone else commented on this portion and it reminded me of a thought on the subject that came to me while I was on a business trip to that land of Toronto.
I saw something in a comment back to or concerning Jane and a name that I did not really know reminded me of that little back and forth a couple of years ago concerning her report about some political squabbling that went on between the TX/OK region and the GLA over some other place sort of in between (IA or MO, maybe??). Anyway, I realized that in that particular case, no matter how strongly the guy Jane had reported from denied everything (once the LSM got hold of him), it appears that BP was basically trying to extend his realm of control at the same time that TC was doing the same thing.
So, it may not be as simple as "the underlings are going crazy and I'm not to blame," there is evidence that they
were going crazy.
And it could be that this was one of those things that Lee was never going to get directly involved in anyway because he seemed to be less likely to say or do anything negative concerning another Chinese person. He left that to the arrogant Americans.
But those pesky Americans were always good scapegoats.
