What caused the Arab spring?
Mostly the underlyng demographics, with the newly enabling mobile communications.

What caused the explosive economic expansion in China:
the greatest in human history?
Mostly the one-child-policy, which allowed investment in properly
educating the resulting generation, who needed education for the
changing technology.

It was pretty widely acknowledged at the time it took place, about
1990-1996.

No! The *ARAB'S* arab-spring was some time ago.
As far back as 1990-1996 - surely not?

But "S.Africa's Arab-spring" is now 2015,2016.....

South Africa's "Arab Spring" was 1990-1994.

The Arabs got in late, about 2010-2011. And it only worked in Tunisia.

Wrong, superficial analysis:
1976 was closer to Arab-spring; but mobile communications were missing.

1990-1994 was carefully planned after the Berlin wall fell down.
It was the best time to hand over power.
1975 would have been the worst.
Arab-spring means spontaneous uprising; like the current burning of
libraries and other government property.
