100,000 dumplings is a lot of dumplings.
Cheap money, inflated economy, inflated jobs, deflating economy, deflating jobs.
China tried what did not work in Japan - massive amounts of infrastructure projects, generating massive government spending across the country and as long as it all kept pace the economy inflated, as did real esttate, jobs and comsumer spending.

Take that away, and they face rebellion.
