Do you want to know the best way to keep your people happy and prevent them from revolting?  You do the same thing you do when eating grapes that might have stayed in the bag a little too long.  Pick out the bad ones and wash the rest.

BEIJING - Chinese human rights activists have been disappearing ever since a mysterious call went out on the Internet for a "Jasmine Revolution" similar to the uprisings against authoritarian regimes in the Middle East - a call that was made again this week.

Jiang Tianyong, an activist lawyer in Beijing, vanished Feb. 19, a day before the protests called for in Internet postings in the Chinese capital. Jiang has not been heard from since. The mysterious group running the website called this week for fresh protests Sunday.

To be honest this would be the scariest thing about working in China, or any communist controlled country. We think it is wrong only because we don't understand how different our countries are.
