LOL. Actually, you have a point. The Chinese people are tolerant of a Communist government and a little less freedom, because their standard of living is rising inexorably and they have plenty of distractions like WoW and all the western amenities that come with a market economy. However, if the Chinese go too far and western companies pull back from doing business with China, then that could piss the people off, which is bad news for the Communists in power. Still, I hate to rely on that as our only strategy for containing China's Communist ambitions.
