China is no more immune to the eventual consequences of a parasitic government than was the USSR.

Interestingly enough... two totalitarian regimes have hosted the Summer Olympics: Germany (Berlin 1936) and the USSR (Moscow 1980). Curiuosly enough, both regimes fell 9 years later.

Will the People's Republic of China (Beijing 2008) fall in 2017? (One hundred years after the Bolshevik revolution.)
