As if any of the red networks would broadcast this... Of course they wouldn't, but China does care when their evil is broadcast to the rest of the world. There was world-wide condemnation over the shameful Tiananmen Square incidents and this would demonstrate that China's so-called reform is a myth.

"Simply more evidence to refute the idea that China is going to go western anytime soon."
That was just propaganda to get us to swallow the "free trade with China" pill.

"At the time, the Colonists were under the "iron-grip" of the British Continental Army. "
And now the colonists are under the iron grip of the FedGov.

Right you are, but China's situation is more serious by at least one order of magnitude. 20 million illegals? Try 700 million (or more) illiterate rural peasants. In China's economy??? Wow.

You won't find this story through Google China. If you try, it is likely that your ip address and general location will be send to the Chinese secret police.

I'd agree but you'd have to admit that the military of today is armed to a greater extent than the British of 1776 were. Tanks and kalishnakovs are a tough nut to cracks.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but IMO the Chinese government will end control when they decide to, and not a moment before. There may be uprisings. I think they will meet with stiff resistance and force. After a few of them are put down with brutal force, the next will be harder to get off the ground.

Having a rational opinion about something doesn't imply fear. This is a reality based discussion.

I can't say for certain you are wrong. I'm simply stating my opinion. You're comparing a nation on an economic rise, with a nation suffering an economic colapse.

Is China falling apart?
This question is, could what going on right now with Iran push everyone over the edge?
To: XHogPilot
80,000 riots may sound like a lot, but it is business as usual for the Middle Kingdom. However, China also has a habitual behavior of changing direction overnight. All it would take to plunge the country into its usual depression is one decision by one official.

I saw a military caravan move through Moscow. The "soldiers" looked to be,on average, about 12yrs old. Pitiful.
