Now its time to earn that Nobel Prize!

I was thinking about that yesterday and worried at the same time (due to the fact that one attempted revolution was bloodily put down in the 80s) - will China be next? if it works 2011 may consigned to history as the year of the democratisation of the world but is democracy really the best option for the world? Of course dictatorship and other cruel forms of governance are no option at all. But do we really need a political leadership? Just asking that question myself very often when I look at what politicians do...

Are you crazy? Obama has done nothing but evil and will continue in that vein. He was "awarded" the so-called "peace" prize as a reward for bringing the US to its knees and being instumental in its loss of freedom, sovereignty, and ultimate demise.

laglen, I really do not think President Obama would be meddling with the politics and/or the current tense situation in China. Why should he? Like Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Algeria and Libya - all of us have yet to see him or America intervening. It is just unnecessary and unethical to meddle with another country's politics. However, I feel that these uprisings are gaining an uncomfortable momentum which I am sure is also a grave concern for every country where America is not excluded. I just hope that that day will never come. Regulators must not only be impartial but resourceful or we will just be asking for such uprisings to happen. Take care and have a nice day.

This is going to require him to be very quite as well China is a big trading partner with us. I think we should support the People of China (Don't worry the American people will do that for the Government) Obama will most likely do the same thing he did in Egypt at least that is what I am thinking. As for if the Revolution gets any ground well if the People of China want that current government gone well just look at their history China hasn't kept a Dynasty that the People didn't support. Laglen yeah maybe he will earn that prize after all. I personally feel that for once we are sticking to our foundation when we supported the Uprising/Revolution in Egypt as in our Declaration of Independence it states that it is the Peoples right to Abolish government if it is no longer working to keep the Secure in their rights and protection for their future. I feel that we did miss a chance to help the Uprising that happened in Iran which I was in support of I mean we need to let the people of these countries know that we support them in their efforts. Being true to our founding would get us out of a lot of the problems that we are currently having. @Epicure I think you really need to realize that Obama isn't the Master of Puppets he isn't able to do much of anything as President of the United States. I mean he can make us look like idiots (The last president did the same thing) so I mean if your are talking about destroying our nation then you need to follow the money which is coming from Massive Companies you are delusional if you think that these Corporations don't run our government or that the Two parties both the Democrats and the Republicans are aiming for the samething the United States Constitution being a thing of the past. "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me you can't get fooled again.'" That came from the Last Presidents mouth. I think even Chinese know how this goes.

Hi laglen, Obama changing the Chinese notion to democracy seems far flung. China is still looking for chances to broaden its territory by adding some part of India, specially the state of Arunachal. A war like situation is already in the air.

I hope that the United States goverment could help us to call for democracy,at least,the freedom of speech.

oops didn't know you had started a similar discussion already sorry for stepping on your toes. A lot of corporations are heavily invested in China's economy right now I don't think they are liking the idea of a new democratic government so I would expect the white house to be silent on it for awhile.

Thanks for sharing this. I had not seen this article before since I haven't been following the news for some time. I guess I'm glad I'm not in China any more. I was supposed to start teaching again this week, but I had to quit my job to come back to America for medical treatment I couldn't easily get there. I would certainly hope that the president makes some attempt to call for democracy in China.

One only know's what will happen. I feel for all of us in the next coming years. I think it will come under God help us all.

I just read this news from the link you share. Now I want to keep quiet because I am afraid if I gone wrong with my comments..haha!All I can say is I hope our Chinese brothers and sisters will be safe all the time whatever the outcome of this political tension they are experiencing right now.

I dont know about your head huncho, but I know that ours asked China to be more democratic....meanwhile, it seems to be our 2 countries that are lacking in democracy lately. I wish they'd give the nobel prize to the wikileak guy lol

I think that in a guarded way, he will call for democracy in China "if the movment gets its feet on the ground."

Even if the "revolution" gains momentum, I'm betting he/the State Department won't say much more than "let them protest in peace". What can you say to the one who owns your house?
