What connection do you see between Arabs and Han Chinese that would make them follow suit? Also China has tight controls over its internet. They watch it very closely, and anyone attempting to circumvent these controls to promote civil disobedience is dealt with severely. They're smart and not smart at the same time. They don't crack down on people who use VPN to read news, use Facebook etc. But they will throw you in prison, and threaten you with the safety of your loved ones, if you seem to be "causing trouble" among masses. Not smart because this keeps their country weak. But that's who's in power.
