Please provide me historical evidence where an unarmed populace overthrew a fully armed dictatorship during a time of war.

Russia, 1917 comes to mind.

Perhaps you can explain to me how China is going to be making all of these big strategic waves on the international scene AND have enough troops to keep the lid on at home.

The ENTIRE ChiCom army would be outnumbered 1,000-1 by starving peasants looking to cook Private ChiCom for dinner. (Hey, he's Atkins-friendly).

Note that much of the Army would be deployed to combat zones, leaving that much fewer troops available for domestic-head-busting.

A 100 million man army.

Your entire scenario is based on a starving chinese population. I don't see it.

And what is killing millions of people to Communists?...its nothing, they do it before breakfast.

China currently has 2.5 million troops. That is a sizable force if you ask me.

Besides that they are using economic warfare against Taiwan, and will do it to us.
