Don't know human nature so well, do ya?
I do agree that is China sends troops in the millions around the answer would be nukes, but they know that.
This is a weak President and is why China is on the move, but with all their problems they have to confiscate other places or they will soon die.
No drinking water is a horrible issue.
No females because of all the abortions would be another horrible issue.
They are also cracking down on the internet because the people are learning of civil rights, safe working conditions and what a good wage for the job is.
They are catching on to being slaves.
