"All men are created equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing the obtaining of happiness and safety."

-- George Mason

Wukan is in Hailufeng area where the first Soviet of China was established in 1927. History comes in full circle, full in irony.

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hailufeng_Soviet

The Hailufeng Soviet (i.e. Hai[feng]-Lufeng Soviet) was the first Chinese Soviet territory, established in November 1927, by Peng Pai with Ye Ting's remnant troops from the Nanchang Uprising. After the arduous August–September Little Long March and the near-rout at the Battle of Shantou these troops were much diminished and were directed by the ComIntern to lie low in the deep countryside and to avoid any further battles.[1]

The Chinese communists tested their first atom bomb in 1966. They developed and tested their first thermonuclear weapon in 1967.

Curious as to how the lockstep supporters of Free Trade with Communist China are going to spin this one.
