Hmmm...for some reason remember Nicolai Ceausescu giving a speech to a bunch of people in Timisoara, Romania, just before Christmas 1989. Things went south very quickly. He and his wife were tried and executed on Christmas Day 1989.
One of the most chilling and transitional moments in history was captured on film back on December 21, 1989.

Could such a thing happen in China? Probably not right now. But at the rate things are going, anything is possible. Sure does look like the debt bubble is bursting, and there seem to be some food issues. Still don't know if the Chinese have their African swine flu under control. Chinese eat a lot of pork, their preferred meat.
Would say people all over are living in interesting times. If you don't believe you are living in interesting times, you simply aren't paying attention.
