The new york times just sent out this article. If you have any interest in Asia's politics or future at all I suggest you read it, you might learn something resembling fact more than what you have learned from other sources. This is not hearsay, its from an individual who was there during protests and other controversial events and he doesn't mince words or blow things up out of proportion.
