I would be more inclined to call Kim-Jong Il a totaltarian ruler. He could get away with an incident like Tiananmen, I dont honestly believe that the Chinese could pull that off again.

Anyone have an idea of how many security cameras are in China? Some of stuff that we'd have a problem with here (facial recognition, biometrics, etc., with the capability of sifting through it to find useful stuff) would have a very receptive audience there. With the technology that's available (and stuff that's now coming out of the lab), China could probably create a surveillance society so pervasive that you won't have to do massive public crackdowns like Tiananmen Square. Anyone who looks like a subversive can be tracked and almost constantly monitored.

How do you translate Nacht und Neber into Mandarin?

You're certainly right about the security cameras in China, They are everywhere. The last time I went to the forbidden city I pointed several of them out to a few of my friends that I was visiting in Beijing. They didn't even know that they were cameras, they just thought they were some kind of light.

You will first have to translate that into English for me. I dont speak any German. :)
