BIG TROUBLE IN BIG CHINA!!!
 A few weeks ago, I wrote about China and the fear of the 'Tunisian Virus' spreading to the mainland.
It appears the leadership of China grows more worried about possibility with each passing day.
These 'crackdowns' are not new to China and they probably would not even make the news if it were not for the events of the Middle East and North Africa.
The fact of the matter is China is worried and they probably should be to some extent.
Many of the so called 'experts' are not predicting massive protest in China and I would tend to agree with them; for now!
Freedom is powerful stimulant to the Human Spirit and it doesn't have to be tied to economic stability.
China set course almost twenty years ago to emulate a capitalistic model for the sole purpose of growing the nation of China.
It chose the path for the simple reason of overtaking the West with it's own weapon; a capitalistic market economy.
The problem with the "Master Plan' was China forgot what economic prosperity would bring to the individuals of China. 
The desire to "prosper" not for the sake of the Motherland, but for the individual's sake.
China built the machine that has forged it to the forefront of the world economy.  
They have also built the social environment that could be China's downfall.
Once you give a person a car, they want a road.. a place to drive to.... a store to buy things in.. a school for their children... another car... so on and so on...
Recently; I've been reading more and more about China's economic engine and how it's about to 'overheat' and what they must do to cool things down.
Cooling things down equates into lowering expectations for the people of China.
We all see how well that's working in the US.
It won't go over any easier in China.
But, here is the big difference; China didn't do what they did for the people, their leaders did it to overtake the West.
Putting the people back in the box, is not going to go over real well.
So, should China be worried about the "Virus" coming to China?
Maybe not this month or even next month, but when their leaders close their eyes at night, they know in their hearts what is coming!
Facebook with 1.4 BILLION people...
How do you stop that?
