First of course, the Arab world is furious with the US for allowing free speech on Youtube, and the US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was murdered on 9/11. There is also violence in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Yemen, Sudan, Gaza, etc. (Etc. includes India, Bangladesh, Indonesia).
Second, there are labor strikes in South Africa. A couple months ago, a Chinese supervisor was killed at a Zambian mine during a labor dispute.
Third, there are austerity protests in Spain, Greece and Portugal.
Fourth, the Chicago Teachers Union decides it is a good time to go on strike, because a 16% raise over the next 4 years isn't enough.
Fifth, but not least, China decides to make an issue about the Senkaku Islands to distract its citizens over the collapsing economy. This isn't just a few people protesting, but hundreds of thousands of people going wild, overturning any Japanese-made car, and burning Japanese offices. This could lead to war.
