    Not very many, almost none probably. But there are many who don't want to see. The sight is a little scary so it is more soothing not to look.

    I re-read the article and noticed it contained this "Nor should we overlook honor as a motive animating Beijing's actions." That makes the sight even scarier because in the context of the article "honor" means getting some back, revenge for the slights of the last 120 years. That brings some pretty powerful emotions into play.
