China is once again a nation in turmoil, and in quest for long term stability.
The million dollar question is what kind of stability. Certainly not of the iron-fisted Maoist kind, for that would require the populace to be effectively insulated from all outside world influences, with all aspects of people s lives totally regimented to the drum beat of the communist authorities receiving their orders from an undisputed dictator. China has already come too far away from it all and there is no way it can go back. Nor can it be the stability of the Dengist kind, for that was merely transitional.
