"It's the PAX...."
but seriously, I know China is trying to preen here but what I see is that the reason why everyone else can't do the same thing is that in most other countries, the other constituencies that might have an interest in how the weather is manipulated actually have some sort of say, and in the event that the weather is manipulated, someone would have some sort of responsibility for it.
I consider these features, not bugs. YMMV.

They also did that at MAKS this year.
