Do you feel that any form of pro-democracy protest/uprising is likely nowadays, or do you feel that China's massive and for the time being largely sustained economy growth and increasing standard of living likely to passify any such protests on a large scale?
I guess for the most part, the China of 2009 has a much brighter future and is prospering much more than the China of 1989. While wealth is still pretty uneven, it is increasing in most sectors of society, albeit at different speeds.
And as far as I'm aware, while China is still very much a dictatorship, it is slowly starting to give it's citizens more civil liberties and freedom of speech, although, for the most part direct critizism of the government is very much avoided. Although, it probably wouldn't get you in as much trouble today as it would have 20-30 years ago.
Do you feel a similar uprising is possible in China today, do you feel such a protest is brewing? Do you feel the Chinese government are making the right moves in order to keep the people resonably satisfied?
Also, hypothetically speaking, if such a protest were to occur again, I very much doubt the authorities response would be as violent now as it was in 1989. China is becoming increasingly concious of it's image to the world and I don't think the current Chinese leadership would want to put itself into the same position it did in 1989.
