They will not back down easily. And are historically very used to suffering. And there still seems to be a certain willingness to sacrifice lifes.

On another note, the Professor liked to talk about the toilets over there and the very strange things he would sometimes eat in different parts of China. It would be a tough people who have to squat to poop and pee into a hole on the floor.
That is the way that many people go in various parts of the world. It is the natural way. I remember a visit to Paris and in the restroom was a beautifully tiled area with a hole in the ground for a "toilet".
