In response to calls by some overseas Chinese for people to gather on Sundays at specific sites in Shanghai and Beijing to help launch a molihua (jasmine) revolution, China has revealed a new strategy: preemptively flood the protest-designated squares with police to leave no room for protesters. More importantly, as the world’s leader in stringent, real-time censorship of electronic communications, China is strongly placed to block any Arab contagion from reaching its shores.
为了应对某些海外中国人呼吁星期日在北京上海等地特定地点集中发动“茉莉花革命”的号召，中国动用了一个新的策略：让警察布满那些计划中的示威场地，让示威者根本无法进入。更重要的是，作为全球严格实时电子通信审查技术的领头羊，中国努力将一切阿拉伯“毒草”拒之门外。
