Again, you're getting really wrapped around the axle when that's not my point.you post that as if it was a change from what they had before. the middle class that was lost after the Revolution has returned with a vengeance...much faster and more powerful than the Central Committee expected
Let's strip it all down: The Chinese have a history of governments that deserve to be feared. They recognize that we wrote the RKBA into our Constitution to protect against tyrannical governments.
This is an easy concept for them to understand because they have experienced so much unrest and government-sponsored tyranny. It's hard for our average anti-gunner whose idea of a crisis is a shortage of tomato paste on spaghetti night. A government that turns violently against its people (or one particular group) is not an abstract concept to the Chinese. It's just that to the average American.
