Demographics coupled with pollution and loss of clean water and arable land will finish you off.

If not the tens of millions of young men with no mate.

An emergency stopgap measure in this regard would be to popularize the Village People and Richard Simmons; but then you would face tens of millions of AIDS cases in short order.

Your only real hope is the underground Christian Church.

Those issues will be addressed, of course. China is embarking on a water diversion project that will be the largest in history.

As far as arable land, there's enough land in China.

You seem quite knowledgeable with these public personalities. Did you say you were once "In the Navy"? ;)

You have part of it right. But it is the above ground church that is having the greatest impact in urban China. Christians involved in business and politics is what is going to drive China towards being a developed nation.

We are all fallen creatures, whether it be corruption in China or proud Westerners. I'm absolutely convinced, that many NEO Con Christians in the Western world really don't want China to succeed even if they could be convinced that Christian involvement in China's politics and business is at the heart of a rising China. The sinful nature of man, the pride of life, etc., is too powerful of a force to want that (a rising China). To give up an old way of how the world is formerly seen, a way that is comfortable to them and allow and make way for a new balance in the world power structure to succeed, is more than most NEO Con Christians can bear.

And I know, that to some degree, you agree with that assessment ;)
