Sadly, I don't think the mass exodus of westerners and their money would occur.
I was rather appalled at the rush back and the lingering that occurred with the first Tienanmen.
But actually, I think the Chinese have learned a lot from the first experience.
I think now, they'd bring out the water canon and remove people with a minimum of deaths if at all possible.
Now if it became a war between the army and armed guerillas . . . who knows. But it's not exactly easy for nonarmy folks to get arms . . . unless you're mafia types.

You might have a point there.
Certainly, the CCP did learn a lot after the first blood-bath, if anything it was probably how to be a little more non-chalant about carrying out such actions.
They may break out the water canons, but I'd be willing to bet that those same people getting hosed would conveniently disappear sooner or later.

Don't you mean: I think now, they'd bring out the water canon and remove people with a minimum of PUBLIC deaths if at all possible. Then kill them later....
Not to put words in your mouth or anything..... : )
