Some interesting articles from across the web. If you follow any kind of defense sites this should have popped up, on a very limited scale. There have been rumors of a chinese coup floating about the past few weeks. While the attempt would not equate to a serious coup attempt by anyone in the Chinese government, it would mean that there are troubling waters ahead for the communist Chinese government.

I would really like to know more about this and actually kind of wish I was there to see what all happened. Keep in mind China has regulated media and the internet like no one else, quite frankly they have gotten quite good at it.

I would think that if there had been an actual coup attempt some kind of video would have slipped out on to the web.
I think China will have problems keeping their population under control. I think humans hunger for knowledge is suppressible. Especially with the internet even with China's filtering.
