【明报专讯】中共机关报《人民日报》属下的英文《环球时报》昨日发表评论，将内地民众前日在多个城市发起的“
茉莉花革命”集会指是“行为艺术”，呼吁大众对诸多社会争议
保持耐性，“有些西方国家希望中国成为‘下一个埃及’，这根本不可能”。
藉此推进革命 不会得逞
报道说，北京、上海等城市的一部分人幻想在中国模仿“茉莉花革命”，他们就好比是街上的行乞者——从未消逝，但社会的主流仍是向前，“一小部分人喊喊口号或是扔扔茉莉花，不会减慢社会向前的气势”。报道指出，中国之大，必然总是存在一些问题，但中国政府仍为大多数民众所支持，大多数人相信通过正常渠道，中国的许多问题能逐步得到解决，而渐进式改革是社会进步的最经济路线，“现实是，在中国一些极端思想和行为会一直存在，就像每个周日，一些人都会通过‘行为艺术’引起关注，但他们想藉此推进革命的想法不会得逞，因为公众反对。中国并没有革命的群体意愿……这个国家明白，革命将是破坏性的”。
黄华华任广东应急委主任
另据《羊城晚报》报道，广东省调整了“突发事件应急委员会”成员，由省长黄华华任应急委主任，纪委书记朱明国、公安厅长梁伟发等任副主任，并有47个有关单位主要负责人任成员。

Indifferent response to moves for protests in China as few heed call
An Internet call for people to gather nationwide for a Chinese version of the "Jasmine Revolution" met with only a handful of participants Sunday.
Experts told the Global Times that the wave of revolutions in the Middle East was unlikely to happen in China as the Chinese people favored social stability and gradual reforms, not radical ones.
An online post called for people to participate in the "Jasmine Revolution" Saturday.
In Beijing, a crowd of onlookers gathered outside McDonald's in Wangfujing, at about 2 pm Sunday, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Policemen were deployed to maintain order while a person threw jasmine, a Global Times reporter witnessed.
"There was nothing," a worker at McDonalds told the Global Times. "People were just taking pictures of each other."
Together with onlookers and foreign journalists, the gathering people were numbered in hundreds at their peak, Xinhua said.
The Global Times reporter saw two to three people try to pick up the jasmine, but no slogans were chanted. Xinhua said police tried to remove two men, and the crowd had mostly dispersed by 2:50 pm.
In Shanghai, a few people showed up at the People's Square Sunday, another Global Times reporter witnessed. Three people were taken away by police, Xinhua said.
Experts said a "Jasmine Revolution" is unlikely to happen in the country.
"The priority is the economy. China has a rapid GDP growth and the quality of life is improving. Egypt and other countries had seen these matters slide," Shi Yinhong, a professor at the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times.
"China has learned a lot through solving various social problems, and has experience handling public unrest."
Hu Xingdou, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Technology, agreed. "The social problems in China are far away from the intolerable ones like Egypt, and with improving life conditions, people are expecting a gradual reform and solutions to these problems."
"But this could be an alarm for the authorities, who should prevent similar incidents being taken advantage of by certain forces."
