Finally, as I finish my search for references to the Washington Observer's Chinese interview with Tom, we come to the so-happily-appropriate: Tom.com! Man, if only we'd gotten that URL! ;-)

Tom.com is a little... sexier than the other sites I've been searching in this series. I don't know why.

But here, finally, my search is rewarded. I don't find a link to the Chinese interview, but I do find a page that quotes Tom from back in 2004 [VERY ROUGH translation courtesy of Google].
