I doubt it.  The main Chinese population doesn't have access to any real information.

China has being selling its people that this is a terrorist incident by extremists. 

Sounds like it’s time for some American hackers to break their firewalls and give the people access to information.  Information will cause a revolution.

Question is will China rise up if there’s a massacre in Hong Kong?

Depends.  Would a massacre be the start of their financial collapse?  If it is the catalyst that pops the biggest market bubble in world history (China's real estate bubble) that could set off some crazy shit.

The amount of cameras monitoring Chinese citizens, plus their phones monitoring everything they do.... that won't be easy.

It will be spun as restoring order and prosperity to the people of Hong Kong being held hostage by violent extremists.

China's people are relatively well taken care of, that's one of the problems.  To a lot of them who have grown up in the system--they have freedoms, just not regards to politics.

They lack for freedoms well outside of the realm of politics.

Please list the freedoms the average Chinese citizen has. I can tell you what freedoms they don't have, but I want to see your list.

Too bad the protestors weren't armed. this is going to be like shooting fish in a barrel as a result. 

People should take note here as to what happens to protestors in a country ruled by authoritarians where they don't have access to firearms. Lovely.

It’s time to export freedom to China!  It’s going to happen eventually, might as well do it now.

If the CIA had any stones they'd be shipping small arms into Hong Kong right now.

Yeah they do.  The difference between people in Hong Kong and the rest of China is Hong Kong used to have many of the freedoms we cherish today.  Then the British gave Hong Kong back to China.

I'm well aware of the history. I remember watching the handover ceremony as a kid. This just shows that the people who start revolutions aren't poor peasants, they're more or less rich/middle class people who lost something and got pissed and decided to do something about it.

Sorry I was commenting for those who don’t know the history.
