| China slams anti-regime protest calls |
| 2011-03-07 |
| [The Nation (Nairobi)] China's state media stepped up its criticism of calls for anti-government rallies on Sunday, saying stability is key amid concern that unrest sweeping the Middle East could spread to the Asian nation. The reports came a day after a similar comment piece was published for the first time in a state-run newspaper, amid renewed online calls for citizens to gather in dozens of cities to participate in "strolling" demonstrations Sunday. "Firstly we must recognise that some people with ulterior motives at home and abroad are using various means to incite 'street politics'," a report on the front page of the Beijing Youth Daily said. "They are using the Internet to create and disseminate false information, incite illegal gatherings in a bid to bring the chaos in the Middle East and North Africa to China, to mess up China." A report in the Jiefang Daily, the official Communist Party mouthpiece in Shanghai, carried a similar opinion piece, urging people to "maintain social harmony and stability." "People must... highly cherish and consciously maintain hard-won stability like they take care of their own eyes," it said. The anonymous calls for rallies each Sunday, inspired by popular uprisings in the Arab world, have heightened official concern about unrest in China amid growing resentment at issues such as a yawning wealth gap and corruption. |

| #1 ION WMF > "SANKEI SHIMBUN" JAPANESE MEDIA: CHINESE RECCE PLANES [Y-8's] NEAR DAOYUS GATHER/GATHER INTELLIGENCE FOR PLA ATTACK THROUGHOUT THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN". Breakout = breakthrough PLA milstrikes??? Kyushu + Okinawa-Taiwan + Daoyus/Senkkaus + Philippines, Oil-Gas fields. * SAME > US-ROK JOINT DRILLS PREMISED ON "COLLAPSE OF NORTH KOREA" THEORY. * SAME > RUSSIAN SCHOLARS PROPOSE SINO-US "STRATEGIC EXCHANGE" IN NE ASIA IN SUPPORT OF FORMAL KOREAN-REUNIFICATION + NON-NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA: CHINA TO CHANGE ITS TRADITIONAL HARDLINE APPROACH ON NON-FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN NORTH KOREA + KOREAN PENINSULA AFFAIRS IN RETURN FOR US ASSISTANCE ON FINAL OR PERMANENT MAINLAND RE-UNIFICATION WID TAIWAN. ALTERNATIVE IS CHINESE TAKEOVER OF NORTH KOREA WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO RUSSIA, VERSUS US TAKEOVER OF TAIWAN WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CHINA. But-t-t, neither the DPRK nor ROK [South Korea] desire any Chinese takeover of North Korea. IIUC, IOW SHORT OF MAJOR + CONCLUSIVE[US-China]REGIONAL WAR IN NE ASIA LITTLE OR NOTHING IS LIKELY TO CHANGE FOR THE TWO KOREAS, ESPEC STARVING NORTH KOREA. |
