Chinese police tighten control on rebellious town / Villagers say at least 14 killed in protest over land seizure: "By the government's own tally, there were 74,000 riots or other significant public disturbances in 2004 alone, a big jump from previous years."

China has a lot of problems. News like this raises the prospect that another revolution may be brewing in China. The implications for the rest of the world would be immense. Specifically, I think about all of the foreign investment in China, and wonder how the USA and other capitalist governments would respond to a popular revolution that expropriates foreign assets in China. Is China so big that foreign governments would just have to sit back and let it run it's own course, or would they intervene as they did during the Russian and Cuban revolutions? Will they villianize a revolutionary government, and long for the days that the "progressive" Communist Party ruled China?
