The specter of public unrest still spooks Beijing. Ms. Shirk lists a host of domestic threats, such as uprisings by Chinese peasants who are frustrated with burdens like high local taxes and land seizures. Given that farmers make up 60% of the population, Ms. Shirk writes, they "certainly would gain from electoral democracy."
