"Sleep is an important part of life ... As a matter of fact, it is
almost impossible to reach anyone in the Chinese Embassy in Washington
DC between noon and 2 p.m. because everybody is supposed to be
napping."

Although this might be true... if I were in charge, these fine
scientists would spend more efforts on blowing up approaching
hurricanes and nuking asteroids. Or discovering life on Europa - in
that ocean under the icy crust heated by the gravitational wobble.

Not on calling embassies or some pussy arguments like that.
