I keep waiting for the shoe to drop.

China, by her own standards, has been very soft on the protests so far. China is much more concerned with its global image than back during the Tiananmen Square protests.

But if anyone should think this won’t end similarly, they’d be fooling themselves.

I’d put lower odds on a sudden violent crack down than on a slow, methodical process of arresting leaders and slowly ratcheting up the pressure on protestors.

As sad as it might seem, the CCP will come out on top in the end.
