    China is not a state where there is a large % of Islamic Fundamentalists.

    They will not rise up.

    Congratulations! Obviously you have graduated from the University of Western Free Propoganda Media with a Bachelor degree.

    Over the course of three short months, popular uprisings have toppled regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, sparked a civil war in Libya and created unrest in other parts of the Middle East. They also have raised a question in many people's minds: Are all authoritarian regimes now threatened by this new democratic wave? In particular, is China, a rising superpower, vulnerable to these forces?

    The government run news channel in English has IMO fair news coverage about the west. I don't know if the Chinese language news channel is the same.

    But I can tell you most Chinese people have insanely idealistic opinions on the west so I suspect they aren't fed much anti-west stuff.
    I would say that the greatest risk to China is the same one that is now affecting the West, limits to growth!

    China is fortunate to be a few years behind in this respect, but they are rapidly catching up. There will be difficulties when their demand for resources like oil start to exceed supply, as things are now they are benifiting from the decline in western economic activity and buying up the "spare" oil, that may last for only another two or three years.

    The Chinese people have been promised a lot, the government will face real difficulties in maintaining those promises in the future.
