You can't lay down a road without building a roadbed. The admission of wrongdoing, expression of regret, and commitment to a clear course of corrective action is mandatory before any reputation repair can take place. Too true, Michael.

The Chinese ambassador to Canada appears to be using the "argumentum ad antiquitatem" fallacy or appeal to tradition in saying that "everyone does it so get off our back." They're pretty much blaming others when they should be taking responsibility for what they did wrong, telling us what went wrong, and how they're going to fix it. I think this needs to be done in addition to allowing the third party supporters get their message out. I think you’ve presented a good case that the Chinese spokespeople are presenting inept spin.
