I think China is spoiling for a conflict because their economy is about to collapse and without war they will most certainly collapse....
If a war breaks out, I don’t see that helping their economy. They depend on exports. Initiating action against Japan would kill their exports to Japan and the US among others. It would be economic suicide.
You might be pretty close to the truth. I read on another site that there are 30,000,000 to 40,000 ,000 more men in the 20 - 40 year old range than there are women, owing to the one child edict. Girl babies are either aborted or killed. That leaves the guys with an unsatisfied testosterone problem. The theory is that China will initiate a war using these guys as cannon fodder. Not looking good. sd
Hold your cards folks, I think we have a BINGO!
I hear so much stuff about how great the China economy is. The economies of all the big players of the world are built on a house of cards. When one of these players collapses, the rest are soon to follow, including China.
