Re: Sounds unprofessional all round
Yes, it sounds weird. What on earth would any miscreant want with so much kit simply walking up to the entrance.
"Zhang produced two Chinese passports displaying her photo." Why produce TWO passports?
"Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday: 'I have no understanding of the situation you mention.' " That seems a reasonable statement even if she is a Chinese agent.
Tin foil hat Conspiracy Theory: It's someone [American?] that hired her and set her up to make the Chinese Government look bad?
"In a court filing on Tuesday, a public defender representing Zhang said she was invoking her right to remain silent." A good plan when you have already demonstrated idiocy. What exactly can she be charged with on the evidence? She was LET in without being searched or anyone qualified to decide explaining who she might me. She didn't use any of the equipment?
