Eleven years here and I never learned how to say coup d'etat in Chinese.

Jun1 shi4 zheng4 bian4.
Literally: "Military affairs government change"

I'll hope that I don't need to use this new vocabulary too often in the future.

But we don't live in China. Our demonstrations to oust the president (going on what- week 3 now?) will not be ended by armor units and machine gun fire. At least I hope not, since I can't run nearly as fast now as I could in '89.
