Of course its a daydream
The protests will never spill over into the rest of China, the newspaper added. "For the minority of people who want to foment a 'color revolution' on the mainland by way of Hong Kong, this is but a daydream."
China's government is repressive and they are not going to let the people get out of hand. Tiananmen Square was no big deal from the standpoint of China's rulers. THEY KNOW that if the people get out of hand they can dispose of them at a rate of 17 per minute [one person every 3.5 seconds] for an entire year without reducing the population below the birth rate. IOW, if the govt wipes out ~9 million of its own people, that merely accounts for ~ years worth of births. If they had to wipe out a 100 million people to keep things tidy it would be no big deal for China; they could simply lift their 1 child per family law and they're back to business as usual.


China would be more repressive than it is, but for the world [READ: THE WEST] watching them. That's why prior to the Olympics they try to get the people to stop spitting everywhere and close down all the doggy diners. They want to appear to the rest of the world to be more civilized than they are.
