Oh, Egypt. You’re such a trendsetter.

The successful revolution in Egypt which forced long term leader, Hosni Mubarak, out of power is now being replicated in several different countries.

We told you about the fire of revolution spreading around the Middle East a few days ago, but it’s not limited to just the desert anymore.

One of the latest countries to toss its hat into the revolutionary ring is China. After a website called for protests in 13 cities in China, the police have cracked down on political activists- before the protests even started.

The protests that were supposed to happen never did. Political analysts say it’s because of China’s immensely powerful and organized police force and censorship system. China has since erased all online discussion of revolution or protests, with President Hu Jintao calling for stricter censorship.
