Terrorism in China

... it doesn't exist.

why?

here's a joke I heard from a Chinese friend. Please forgive me if you find it offensive or... not funny. =P

---

So Osama Bin Laden sends four terrorists to China to bomb strategic locations.

The first terrorist is supposed to hit a huge mall. After everything is set up, he reaches into his pocket to hit the bomb remote... only to find that it's been pick-pocketed.

Failure.

The second terrorist is supposed to bomb this important buiding. He's got the plans and layout so he can hit the most important part of the structure and cause the most damage. However... he finds himself lost following the blueprint because the building wasn't constructed according to plan anyway.

Failure again.

The third terroist is supposed to bomb a public bus... except he can't ever manage to get on the bus in the first place cause all the locals squeeze him off.

Failure yet again.

The fourth terrorist is supposed to bomb a coal mine. He makes his way in unnoticed and manages to set off the explosives. The mine collapses kiilling hundreds of people.

Success?

The terrorist returns proud of his accomplishment. When he tells Bin Laden that he has succeeded in his mission, Bin Laden is suspicious. Assuming it's a lie, Osama proceeds to take out a gun and shoot the terrorist.

Why?

Because the Chinese media never reports mining disasters since there are so many anyway.

So really... it was a failure.

Funny? I thought so... but maybe it sounds better in Chinese.
