"It was the third explosion at government facilities over the past three weeks. Police have also faced violent unrest among migrant street vendors in one southern Chinese city and among residents of another city in central China in the last few days. "

Hmmm.

I wonder what's going on in China?

If ever there was a country ready to explode in liberty, it's China. They've NEVER had it in their at least 4,000 year written history.

However, they have tasted economic liberty and read Locke and have the internet and are increasingly educated...

Yep, it could happen.

I happen to believe that Formosa/Taiwan is a separate country from the PRC, but Taiwan has been ethnically Chinese for 400-500 years. And the Republic of China on Taiwan is a liberal Democracy. Why do you think the ChiComs are terrified of it?
