There is a great two pay PBS documentary called "China - A Century of Revolution". It's fascinating to watch. It shows how the was just one BS revolution after another, each of them leading to destruction and unfathomable suffering. By the time you get to the protests leading up to the Tianmen massacre you'll go "Fuck no! Not again!" It's incredible to watch that in yourself and leads to greater understanding of Chinese politics. Not saying that what they are doing is right or did be supported, but at least it makes it so you can understand it beyond a "they are just evil and power hungry" angle. Stability looks suddenly very attractive.
