We are talking about 90% of PRC's 1.3 billion population here. Only the scale itself prevents any possibility of bloodshed. If we are talking about 3,000 workers or farmers, that's a different story.

What's the difference between ten million dead workers (and farmers) and ten million workers (and farmers) on strike? You still have no production and food. Can killing solve any problem?

If 10 million people ever agreed to a strike, I think any nation would go under. Even ours. I just don't see how such a movement would spontaneously occur. I'm sure the PLA would drop the hammer on any organizer who tried to unionize the labor their. The PRC will either have to be defeated in catastrophic war or will have to totally implode like The Warsaw Pact.

Only China's super-efficient news blackout is preventing this from escalating into a catastrophic scale nationwide social unrest. However, the internet age is making this more and more difficult for the central government. If news of the regional social unrest leaked out and caught the attention of the general public, it would be uncontrollable

Quix, this was my point, in that with the internet and satellite the population of China will be observing the America way, and want a piece of this dream.

Perhaps leading to revolution internally, which would mean arms would need to be smuggled inside; or, the youth could be mobilized into an army, a huge army and just stroll on into the USA through our borders.
