Think of how insidious this quote is...

“The problem is that they’ve attacked the Chinese so badly,” he added. “The Chinese authorities act suspicious, even when they have nothing to hide.”

Essentially, If you're suspicious, they'll only act more suspicious and that's OUR fault. The more suspicious you are, the more suspicious they act... and who can blame them!? They have nothing to hide because they're so innocent that any doubt offends them.

It kind of reminds me of the flashy lawyer in The Man Who Wasn't There. He wants to try to use some scientists quote to baffle the prosecution, almost like hypnosis with circular logic.

Reidenschneider : They got this guy, in Germany. Fritz Something-or-other. Or is it? Maybe it's Werner. Anyway, he's got this theory, you wanna test something, you know, scientifically - how the planets go round the sun, what sunspots are made of, why the water comes out of the tap - well, you gotta look at it. But sometimes you look at it, your looking changes it. Ya can't know the reality of what happened, or what would've happened if you hadn't-a stuck in your own goddamn schnozz. So there is no "what happened"? Not in any sense that we can grasp, with our puny minds. Because our minds... our minds get in the way. Looking at something changes it. They call it the "Uncertainty Principle". Sure, it sounds screwy, but even Einstein says the guy's on to something.
