Comment: I would take this article more seriously if Xinjiang separatists ever managed to get small arms ... until then, I can't see that it's a real problem for the Public Security Ministry...

Comment:  I recommend you read the Financial Times article ... I personally believe Beijing's grand design of an RMB-zone to balance (if not eclipse) the Dollar-Zone is closer than the FT thinks, and much more certain.  And if you "want an order based on law, not on crude power", you'll have to confront China because that's not what China wants.

2007 - China's Crown Princeling

September 24, 2014
Wall Street Journal Asia Friday-Sunday October 26 - 28, 2007

Who is Xi Jinping? It’s possibly the most important question in China today. At the 17th Party Congress, Mr. Xi was made head of the Party secretariat to the Standing Committee of the Politburo— which puts him in pole position to lead China when Hu Jintao steps down from the presidency in 2012.

The US Strategic Pivot to Asia and Cross-Strait Relations: Economic and Security Dynamics

The banner headline of the Communist Party’s flagship newspaper was printed in large bold characters:  “Promoting the establishment of a powerful maritime nation” (海洋强国) is “a major component of the mission of socialism with Chinese characteristics.”  Thus spake Party General Secretary Xi Jinping on August 1, 2013, a date celebrated in China as “Army Day.”  General Secretary Xi’s choice of Army Day for his declaration signaled that this was not a mere civilian goal, but  more significantly a military one.
