Irrelevant. If China can not handle a little woman and a smll group funded by US, it does not deserve to be a power to be reconk with.

It is just one of many growing pains facing China on its way to the International spot light.

It needs better minoirty policies, better PR, better media instituations across the globe and better intelligence and security.

This well funded and executed riot should have happened. If not, it means other powers have not done their jobs to keep China busy. Don't blame others (no matter how right or justifiable a case you have) but ask the Chinese government why has it not been snuffed before it happens.

Hello pot, this is the kettle! And the US has a good minority policy. That is why we are now profiling, rendering, and torturing Muslims but cry out in indignation when China abuses them.

India has done a great job in accessing the international media resources. They either buy the established media instituations or contribute to the content aggressively. If they can not buy them they will acess them through proxy.

China needs to learn. The ones who control the opinions and images channels control the outcome in events. It is time to bring your attention to the International Media battle field, China.

It's not wise to put the blame all on this woman, if she indeed exists

Urgurs and US Congress need a face to rally for. Chinese government needs a face to blame.

Each side gets their needs.
