Last year, in February, I was in China when the regime appeared to be fretting that a new challenge to its authority might be amassing. A group, identifying itself only as the ?organizers of China Jasmine Rallies,? had posted a message on Boxun, a Chinese-language news site based in the United States. No one knew who had issued the call. It read, ?We call upon each Chinese person who has a dream for China to bravely come out to take an afternoon stroll at two o?clock on Sundays to look around. Each person who joins will make clear to the Chinese ruling party that if it does not fight corruption, if the government does not accept their supervision, the Chinese people will not have the patience to wait any longer.? The calls for a ?Jasmine Revolution??borrowing the name from the revolution in Tunisia a month earlier?quickly spread to other web sites and on the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. The group behind the message identified specific locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and more than a dozen other major cities around the country where people were to come out for a ?stroll.? People were asked to assemble at 2 p.m.
