so it's not the protest itself which is the problem
Agreed. That's what I was Trying to say. It's not the protest but the over reaction of the government that really causes the problem.

Billy, we in the west are always impatient.
It looks to me like the Chinese have learned from the failure of the Soviet Union. The Soviets refused to embrace change and ended up in chaos.
The Chinese seem to be embracing change. Allowing the people that want to be entrepreneurial to do so, while maintaining the system to keep the rest employed.
This should teach and inspire more people to the possibilities of capitalism and cause a positive shift in the economy.
Our problem with China has always been their desire to export communism. With Chinas' move toward capitalism and our move toward socialism (homeland security) we should not have future problems.
And I'm pretty good with chopsticks.
