If this thing fails, millions will die and China will need to do something drastic to feed their population.
Not to mention the massive migration and relocation of a good portion of their population.
War is in the air for sure.
I was worried that this thing was going down to the point that I started raising chickens again. However, it is looking like that dam is tougher than a lot of us thought.
But yeah, if it DOES burst, things will get ugly internationally.
Control of the population is of little concern to the Chinese government, as evidenced by government actions in Wuhan this last winter.
Chinese manufacturing has already somewhat been hit by the covid19 virus.
The Chinese are unable to feed their massive population and have depended on international grain imports to feed the masses.
Despite the trade and political tensions between the U.S. and China, they will be even more dependent on grain imports,
and the news, even this morning, is that China purchases of grain as a result of the trade negotiations is still down from previously agreed levels.
Let us not forget, that WWWII was fought because Japan needed more resources for its population; similar scenario, no ?
Xi has been systematically and deliberately pissing off every country he can.
As far as he is concerned a war killing 100s of millions is better than a revolt killing him.
Maybe he's a democrat at heart?
And if Joe & the Hoe are elected they will send trillions of dollars ........
