Unrest will not bring social equity

Achildhood friend is among the most apolitical people in town and she spends most of her time singing and dancing with other retirees. Recently she learned from a dancing partner that there was to be a gathering of foreign media people at a certain business street in downtown Beijing and she was curious to know why.

When she learned that they were gathering in the hope of witnessing a Chinese version of the unrest in the Middle East she was disinterested.

"They are making much ado about nothing!" she declared.
