Chinese dissidents inspired by the Jasmine revolts invited citizens to a pro-democracy stroll at 2 pm on Sunday. Instead, hundreds of riot police, dozens of plainclothes officers, guard dogs and street-cleaning trucks spraying jets of water arrived at the designated sites in Beijing and Shanghai.

The security machinery, greater than the first attempted protest last Sunday, showed a nervous intolerance for sloganeering and opposition ahead of the Chinese parliament session in March.

AP reported that two Chinese in Beijing and four in Shanghai were driven away in police vans. There were no major protests barring scuffles between foreign camera crews and the police. The online posts had urged citizens to 'stroll, watch or pretend to pass by' making it hard to discern protestors from onlookers.

The campaign was limited to posts on banned websites, while the majority of citizens remained unaware since searches related to 'jasmine' and 'Wangfujing' were blocked.:rolleyes:

"Its (China's) ideal is to pre-empt Internet-organised real-life demonstrations,'' said Simon Shen, a Hong Kong-based specialist on Chinese online nationalism. At 9 am Sunday, Premier Wen Jiabao conducted his own online campaign with a live chat. Wen gave sensitively worded answers on price rise, income and regional inequalities and corruption that challenge the communist party's grip on social stability.

Wen said that China's talent pool and education reflected its rise better than the GDP.

Wen Jiaobao trying to divert China's attention..on talking of issues all other than the Jasmine revolution,Even Internet freedom is gone now..
 
LOL... apparently outsiders are more interested in this, than the Chinese people themselves.

I wouldn't really like to post the links to threads,where Chinese members have started threads which are inclusive to India.But still your people do start,btw was there any relation of the world with Egypt??NO,but it did get famous.
So rather than posting baseless things,make a significant contribution.
 
My opinion is that you are getting excited over nothing. You would realize this if you actually lived here.

Anyway, carry on. :wave:

heh, are you seriously comparing a 10 person protest to what happened in egypt?

anyone with half a brain can see the anti-chinese agenda here.
 
Jasmine what? tea?

Look at those 'supposed' protesters on those pictures. I think they dressed pretty well and some are even pretty hippie to me.

Well they have used such a big word: 'revolution'.

Last time there is a real revolution (by communist against nationalist), hundreds of thousands people got killed. Have those sissys made up their minds already?
