if this guys said so, he is a moron. don't be pretentious. only some naive chinese will think it is true.
btw, this article is very misleading. renmin daily and global daily didn't publish this story as the title suggests. only the editor said sth in his speech. and we don't know the context and his whole speech yet.
netquest et al,
pls read carefully, remin and global didn't have this article. ok???
经济周刊主编田俊荣希望公众能看到这背后的原因，“他为什么会坐经济舱？因为美国政府规定大使的差旅费用是包干的，留下的是自己的”；
=============================================
What a liar 主编. He is supposed to verify a fact before making a fake statement like this.
The fact is: both airliner ticket and hotel cost need receipts for reimbursement.
China needs to be careful. Don’t permit a high profile person like him to make obviously incorrect statments. This is a matter of honor for the entire country.
公务员的旅行费如何支付,用什么carrier,什么可以报销的,都有很严格的法律规定("Travel and Transportation Reform. Act of 1998")
可以"abuse"的地方是国际旅行用一等舱,或者去徒有虚名的trip
有兴趣的去查Federal Handbook和上面的Act.

I love Gary Locke. He is a fine example of a good Chinese American. He was just being himself doing the Econ seats, the coupons, etc. He loves China the country but remains loyal to his adopted country. Nothing wrong with that. He did a great job as governor of WA state. If he one day runs for president, I will sure donate and support him!
