The recent glimpses of a snarling China should scare the country's
government as much as the world
CHINA is in a frightening mood. The sight of thousands of Chinese people
waving xenophobic fists suggests that a country on its way to becoming a

hoped. But it isn't just foreigners who should be worried by these
scenes: the Chinese government, which has encouraged this outburst of
nationalism, should also be afraid.
