BEIJING - Wang Fujing, the first shopping street in western Beijing, has never been so clean. Runs a short walk from Tiananmen Square in 1989 and was used to store the tanks of the Communist regime before the massacre of students. Even Renmin Square, the heart of Shanghai, is under water several times a day.
China is plagued by the worst drought in a century, but the authorities do not spare trucks. Pretend a manic cleaning of public places or open yards sudden around suspect sites, is the system that the authorities of the second world power to take two weeks to drive away, with pedestrians, the specter of a revolution.
No one in China and abroad, sniffs the air of a rebellion in the country today a symbol of growth, in which all desperately rely. The power of the Internet down, however, the dictatorships of Mediterranean, extending the democratic domino in the Middle East and the leaders of the world's most populous nation, a unique example of market authoritarianism, fear the virus infect the land of freedom of the extreme ' East It 's the first time that a revolution without revolutionary debut, promoted only by their electronic ghost.
But for the leadership in Beijing, close to retirement, the difference is not substantial. E 're-educated the next generation of leaders from Mao Zedong, who taught both as a spark to burn the prairie. He then emptied the lakes of the capital, to drown the previously mentioned "jasmine revolution", as it is called to pull a wire that connects China to the first insurrection of 2011, Egypt and Tunisia.
The people of the web and the police ensure that the wave of protest was raised Sunday, February 20. The Chinese foreign army to the party and now have realized, but in the mysterious corridors of power alarm triggers an amazing hysteria. The first appeal on the Net to "peaceful demonstration to demand democracy, freedom and justice" gave meeting every Sunday at 14 in the center of a dozen key cities.
E 'was collected from a few hundred people. For dissent in exile, the reason is simple: the complaint fell on the Internet and prevents the government press people to know that even in China, 62 years after the Communist game from the countryside, is about to burst into the ether a revolution to oust the grandchildren the Long March.
Even for power why the rebellion has so far mainly Chinese media, is elementary: none or almost want it. The reality is more complex and explains why, in the absence of conflict, a couple of weeks China live as if someone were to break his precious stability. In the first "Sunday jasmine" was difficult to distinguish from the crowd engaged in shopping that took to the streets to witness a silent dissent.
No slogan, not a banner, not even an insurgent recognizable. In Beijing, outside the McDonald's on Wang Fujing, some guys have thrown in the air three bouquets of white chrysanthemums. In this season in the East are not the jasmine flower, but the performance was enough kinds of flowers to be beaten and arrested by officers.
Among the spectators was "by chance" even the American ambassador in China, Jon Huntsman, the next Republican candidate for president. Was passing by the hand with his daughter and party officials went to the blood to the head. Within hours, the nation, all focused to beat every record of enrichment, is reprecipitated in the atmosphere left by 89, or the latest crackdown on the Falun Gong, Tibet and Xinjiang, or against those who only estimate Liu Xiaobo, last prize Nobel Peace Prize.
The Great Wall of Fire "is setback on the Internet, tens of censoring words such as" Huntsman "or" jasmine ". The government has unleashed a propaganda against "hostile foreign forces" and to clarify to everyone one thing: China is not North Africa and the very idea of a revolution is ridiculous.
No one dared to argue otherwise but the fire, strangely, did not switch off. New anonymous calls to revolt Sunday, the last week to yesterday, multiply anywhere. Friday, a dozen lawyers and historians a hundred dissidents, were arrested for no reason. Last Sunday, Beijing, Shanghai and the major Chinese cities have been flooded and armored army.
As the demonstrators hiding, patrols and militia if they are taken by foreign journalists who rushed en masse, and stunned passers-by. The tension, even in the absence of facts, continues to grow this coming Sunday thousands of Chinese are encouraged to quietly occupy the center of over one hundred cities and the revolution is not for the government is like there.
No one can rationally explain what is happening in China, but to describe this anomalous electronic dissent, suffocated with the ancient violence, does not mean something important witness that you are not experiencing. The country is growing, but starts to feel the breath of capitalist contradictions.
The scheme is firm, but in the midst of a conflict and long period of personal transition of power. The nightmare of North Korea, Libya, where the effect may actually implode the dictatorship of the Kim family, to sleep away the months in Beijing. In a few hours it will open the annual session of parliament, ready to launch the most profound national reform era of Deng Xiaoping.
New interests, excluding the armed forces and knock on the door of the old party, recently prone to promises. There are hundreds of millions of people, armed with opposing claims. Distance and distinction from Tripoli, after the pot-and the right to dignity has been broken, can no longer be decisive.
Show the world how to turn off even if there is a spark, a century after the first Republican revolution, is the ultimate way to stability with Chinese characteristics.
