Police arrest a man in front of the Peace Cinema in downtown Shanghai after calls for a “Jasmine Revolution” protest posted on the internet, February 27, 2011. The online call for anti-government protests across China on Sunday instead brought an emphatic show of force by police determined to deter any buds of the kind of unrest that has shaken the Middle East. Lines of police checked passers-by and warned away foreign photo journalists in downtown Beijing and Shanghai after a U.S.-based Chinese website spread calls for Chinese people to emulate the “Jasmine Revolution” sweeping the Middle East and stage gatherings in support of democratic change.

I was actually supposed to do a presentation on the Chinese Civil War today, focusing on Mao and his policies.
