HONG KONG - A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking $1.3 billion in compensation ? $1 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reported.

Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food" and added: "They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."


How will they feel when the court finds in favor of the defendant , on grounds that the remark was true?

Defaming China is a pretty big charge. This will almost certainly be thrown out of court.
