Occam's Razor says some office working for the Chinese government is looking for who snitched on Wen Jiabao's problematic enormous wealth.

seriously?
Just look at the flailing US response day by day in the Egyptian revolution as they tried to get ahead of how it would turn out for an example of how the Obama administration was just as blindsided by the Arab Spring as everyone else.
For US intervention in the Libyan revolution, after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Rice said "I swore to myself that if I ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required."
More generally, a bunch of unconnected dots about supporting democracy or human rights in China, like any other interesting subject, is normal.
> Yet the NYT itself admits: "Diplomatic cables report how American officials frequently assured skeptical [Arab] governments that the training was aimed at reform, not promoting revolutions."
From the same article (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/world/15aid.html?pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/world/15aid.html?pagewante...): "No one doubts that the Arab uprisings are home grown, rather than resulting from “foreign influence,” as alleged by some Middle Eastern leaders."

A change of subject, but... Why have this been forgotten today?! Syria seems worse than Libya. It reminds me of the civil war in ex-Jugoslavia with the rape camps and atrocities. (I mostly read discussions about China to see if I can spot the members of the "50 cent army" :-) )
