We all know how Tiananmen Square protests ended many promising developments for the PLA and I was wondering, is there a way to either delay or butterfly away those protests? There were some pretty interesting developments including license production of the A129 or AH-1 Cobra, Phalcon AWACS, UH-60 or AS532 for troop transport and Bushmaster armed IFV's among others. What would the PLA look like today and how would their military relations be with western nations without the protests?
