And I wasn't crying about getting negative rep. My issue is assholes who don't have the balls to leave their name when they do it. Like you. Now, back to tasteless humor to piss off whoever I can!
It's not that the Chinese don't negotiate, they just don't mind shooting hostage takers dead. Google it and you'll find more instances of hostage takers being shot dead.
I just saw a video of a different hostage taker getting iced (from one of those shocking videos omgz sites with porn and snuff, so no link for you), and it seems standard for a guy in a grey shirt to be the negotiator and a guy in a black shirt to be the closer. The Chinese are an efficient people.
