A relatively small but stubborn protest group is continuing to call for demonstrations in light of the events unfolding in the Middle East. Chinese authorities have responded as expected, with censorship and arrests. The protest is motivated by China's lack of reform and corruption of officials. While the Chinese censors are in full force, information is still coming. With the revolts sweeping the Middle East, it will be interesting to see if China's protest movement gains any traction, and if so, just how far is Chinese government willing to go to maintain its position?
