China warns of ‘chaos’ in Egypt, downplays role of protesters

China stresses need for stability in Egypt

Online discussion about the protests has been muffled since the turmoil began, in a sign that the unrest is worrying Beijing, which restricts content seen as a potential challenge to the legitimacy of the ruling Communist Party.

China is extremely sensitive to any news involving social unrest, having experienced its own uprisings in Tibet and the mainly Muslim Xinjiang region of northwestern China in 2008 and 2009 — both of which were put down.
