You forgot the BRUTAL VESTIGES OF COMMUNISM.
It will require GENERATIONS to rinse that from the political and social fabric.

You "kinda" projected what would happen in S.F.
Lots of noise, a somewhat skitzo city leadership wanting to protect whoever had anything to do with or say about the Olympics, and so on. Same in Buenos Aires today.
Naive to think that anything Olympics related would sway the Chinese from likely annihilation of dissent on their soil.
It just "ain't them" to do otherwise.
Agree??

China combines the worst of socialism with the worst of capitalism.

Some major disruptions took place during the running of the torch in London and Paris. I wonder how their government will explain that one. I don't think they are very good at PR because of the lack any political debate process. The torch is coming to SF soon - interesting to see what will happen then.

'Grizz' ... A theoretical question for you.
Can a nation, any nation, that joins the ECONOMIC WORLD = it becomes intertwined both as a supplier and consumer of goods with the rest of the world, thumb its nose at all "rules of behavior" of all relevant nations?
Can China take the position that "you all can sell us goods or buy our goods if you want to, but you cannot dictate to us how we run our own country?"
I know.... I know..... You are going to give me back some of my own rhetoric on Russia. The BIG difference is made by the ability - or not - of any nation to thrive on its own natural resources. Like Russia might and the U.S. can.
Some 'Grizz' words of wisdom on this would be welcome.

China will do what China wants to do when China wants to do it!And to hell with what the world thinks !! Most of the world has been wagging a finger at China for years ,Has it made a difference? Not 1 iota

You are acutely on point - we here in the US have too much vested and buy too many "made in China" products to turn our backs on China. Can the Dali Lama really be of any help - will the Chinese authorities allow him to be heard. More blood will be shed before there is a resolution to yet another major strife in our all too hostile world.

I think this post is on point. I also think that the world will see China for what it is once their army starts killing many, many Tibetan monks. They are just as ruthless as they ever were. They just have more Western conveniences to point to. I don't think that makes for a healthy and free society.

I am surprised about this topic. Does anybody in the world believe that China is changing its political underside? Silly idea.
