For their Tienamen, we have our Waco. And you cite a member of China's old guard military, without considering the vastness of the change within China's civilian government.

Tienamen was a tragedy and there remain many old guard Communists. But unless you've been to China in the past 10 years, you can't even imagine the transformation that is taking place there.

My hope is that China will continue to develop economically and politicall. Their rising tide will lift all boats.

Chi Haotian rose to the top rank of Defense Minister well after Tianamen Square's massacre....in 1995.

And he was in power until 2003, a full eight years, standard for that office.

His successor is not noticeably of different outlook. If you're looking for incremental change...you're looking in vain.

Nope. Their slaves are kept in the mud. Only the Chi-Comm princelings are rising.
