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.

    What is very scary is that it could occur here in Taiwan sooner than in China.

    The PLA already runs China.

    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.
