I've been to Tianamen Square. You would never know that there was any sort of disturbance there. No bullet marks, no bloodstains, no nothing. Not a thing out of place.

The Chinese know how to run a country, at least when you compare Eastern Siberia and Mongolia to Beijing, which is the route I took.

He may be your hero (and I'm 100% behind that sentiment, actually), but he is almost certainly dead and almost equally certainly died a gruesome death after being tortured for an extended period.

The Chinese leared how to run a country from the Soviets.
