[AEI OUTLOOK  SERIES No. 1]
(April 2011)

Abstract
China's version of the Arab world's "Jasmine Revolution" was a complete failure. Online calls for protests against Communist Party rule have elicited little response from would-be protesters. Yet Beijing's reaction was swift and overwhelming--harassing reporters, jailing dissidents, and ramping up its already-aggressive censorship of the Internet. Such tactics have left those both inside and outside the country puzzled. Why are China's leaders overreacting? Maybe they are not. The factors underlying this movement could prove lethal to the regime if left unaddressed. Future challenges will make tackling the problem even more difficult.
