And why shouldn't they have used America the Beautiful? They probably own the rights to it along with the country it's attached to.

Right now there's probably one lonely state employee trudging his way across the wildnerness heading for exile in Manchuria.

Funny in a depressing kind of way.

I'm not American, however if I were I would be greatly offended by what the Chinese did. Definitely not helping U.S-China relations.

The tune long out dates the "America the Beautiful" lyrics. It would be like a band playing "My Country Tis' of Thee" and people wondering why they would play "God Save the Queen."
