"The revolutionary changes sweeping through North Africa and the Middle East have touched raw nerves in China," writes Fei-Ling Wang, Professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, in commentary for The New York Times. Wang continues, "The struggling Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's citing of the “lesson of Tiananmen” certainly didn't help. It is extraordinary to see that the Chinese state, growing rich and powerful, remains easily frightened." Source: The New York Times - February 28, 2011
