I do think a lot of people discount China's willingness to destroy it's economy and kill half it's population to achieve questionable goals. As you're article points out it's going to be really interesting watching China fall out of the top 10 of GDP if it really goes down this route. It was a poor country before but once the population gets a taste of success I can only imagine it ends in revolt.
This is patently absurd. That China would have a "willingness to kill half it's population" is something that only the heavily propagandized would believe.
Eh, 10 million here, 20 million there, I guess you have a point. Not such a big deal since there were 500 million more where they came from. Gotta break a few eggs, amirite.
