Bosco- Hmmmm. What the hell does something have to be to be a "genuine movement" in your book? Thousands of young people demanding a measure of democracy- many knowingly risking their lives in the process- not "genuine" enough for you? As for some of the leaders of the ill-fated democracy movement in China of a decade ago, well many were imprisoned, and some fortunate few escaped to the relative freedom of the West. I even know someone who is slightly acquainted with Chow Ming (sp?)- the fiery, articulate young woman who served as a spokesman for the Tianeman Square protest movement. She is living, or at was, in the US. In my book, she'd give your Vanessa Mae a run for her money. Most were not as fortunate as she. Am I to suppose that rotting in some hellhole of a Chinese prison for 10+ years, or facing summary execution- or execution after a closed trial where the verdict was predetermined- is somehow appropriate because these people had not achieved your standard of "genuiness"? Larry P.S. I wonder if the apologists on this thread for the current gang of dictators in Beijing would deny that judges in politically sensitive trials are accountable to the Party. And if they don't deny it, I wonder why they are apologists.
