...Even in India, the terror attacks in Mumbai uncovered a deep well of anger against the democratically elected government for its failure to carry out a fundamental function: protect citizens from harm.

"I simply don't see any kind of nationwide challenge to the Party emerging because you can't blame them for what's happening, it's coming from outside China," says Cheng Li, a China scholar at Washington's Brookings Institute. Li points out that, as it has been at pains to point out regularly in the official media, the government's reaction has been swift and decisive, including everything...
