Chinese protests supressed in Shanghai and Beijing.

It seems that the protests that started in Tunisia and Egypt are spreading to China now. Chinese blogs were calling for protests in the street against the government and in the cities of Shanghai and Beijing, some protesters showed up. Some were arrested but it is unclear why at this point since they did not have any signs and they were not shouting any slogans. Some in the government are calling for stricter controls to be put on the internet. They have already blocked the search term "Jasmine" since it relates to the Tunisian revolution which has been called the "Jasmine Revolution."
