Once, spotting a boxcar loaded with ragged Chinese under the supervision of a burpgun-toting guard, he asked what they were. Answer: slave laborers. On another occasion he asked a Chinese official whether the government's campaign to "remold" recalcitrant citizens consisted of brainwashing. "That is what it is," replied the official.
