I’ve read quotes from Chinese officials and generals stating much to the effect that if some economic crash came to China, they would direct the frustrations and energies of their people “into a fist, striking outward.”

I think it is inevitable that their economy is going to slow, for a variety of reasons, including the fact that more and more people are starting to avoid the purchase of made in China goods. The ‘fist striking outward’ approach will just hurt them more as it will breed a consumer backlash.
