I never offered a personal opinion regarding the reason for the laughter. I stand by my comprehension of the article. The O.P. presented it as support for his assertion that the Chinese students were laughing because they think your president is an idiot. The article as written in no way supports that. It plainly states that they questioned their own Government's judgement. If you think the reporter was lying, that's a different topic altogether and open to pure speculation based on what each person wants to believe.
By your reasoning I can link to an article describing someone complaining about the smell from a pig farm and claim that what they are really angry about is Dick Cheney's aftershave.
