Every quarter we get these “China is about to collapse” stories.
Very interesting article! Thanks for posting it!
Seems to expose the large vulneralbilities in China, despite all of their military buildups and bluster. The country seems to heading for a population uprising and possible coup. If such occurs, it might even give the NORKs the courage to do the same.
China’s not going anywhere...yet the survival of the United States now depends, in large part, on China collapsing.
...for the alternative is China having an economy larger than the US and Europe combined, in about a decade or so, at present relative growth rates.
To me this article has the ring of truth about it but I wonder if that’s only because it confirms my ideological predilections. I’ve been reading the pro-China Martin Jacques book recently and this article gives the other side of the argument.
The thing about centralized control is that it’s easy to imagine why it should work but the reasons why it never does work are far less immediately apparent. Reality works on subtle levels that can be hard to see and recognize and put into words.
At the end of the day it kind of comes down to faith in God for me — that he has created us to thrive in an environment of freedom (and trust and love), and that long term success of any political system can be determined on that basis.
The best we can hope for is our current communist gov't collapses sooner rather than later, we have the advantage because unlike other communist gov't's we have a Free Republic blueprint with which to replace communism immediately.
In a Free Republic prosperity is "always" a given, the only problem is when "we the people" neglect it and don't give all the care and attention as one would give a newborn baby...all this current communist nonsense going on in our gov't; is at it's root the fault of "we the people", the founding fathers knew this, we failed to adhere their warning and threw the baby out with the bath water.
Revolution Now!
A very good analysis and falls into place quite nicely with what I personally know. Number 3 in particular strikes a chord with me.
BUT! I must say that none of this analysis is very new. I saw much of this same stuff back in the 1960’s. What we are seeing though that is more significant than it once was is the mental and emotional outlooks of the young princes and princesses that are the result of single child families. They are not as stoic as their parents and grand-parents. They see and touch the things that are being made by them for foreign markets and they want them too.
Because of those and other factors that the CCP and it’s bureaucracy are hiding from the rest of the world China must look outwards for an enemy that they can beat in a ‘Short Victorious War’. Or deal with a mean and nasty internal war of the provinces.
