There’s 800 million poor people in China
Once they’re hungry the commies are dead meat
Yup. They go 2 weeks without making a shipment to Walmart and the entire country is in turmoil. We really hold all the cards, and Trump is proving it.
Maybe not.
The ChiComs are very good at killing off tens of millions of their own people to stay in power. They have extremely strong control over almost everything in China.
If the have to resort to extreme measures, their economy is likely to go into the toilet.
The commies have the guns.
All they will have to do is say that it is the business people who caused it, have a few "feasts of flesh" and some show trials and the Chinese will happily go back to doing what they do best, take orders from their betters.
It is what they have done for a couple of thousand years now.
It probably will not change.
Que up the famine riot scenes from “The Good Earth”.
No pun intended right? You are right however. Starving people don’t give a hoot who is in power when their stomachs are rattling and their children are dying. China hasn’t been through a mass famine in over half a century. This isn’t Mao’s China anymore. The Chinese leaders won’t be able to hide what will happen if the people rise up.
