I am going to bet that Xi is severely overplaying his hand.
They need to provide 1 billion people. I remember even an outbreak over porkmeat (1 disease) and milk powder was a national emergency. There's even a whole army of fishing boats...
China is not self reliant on food and if a war would break out, China is going to be in scrambles pretty fast.
Sure, They can contain protests in a region of China, but not across the country.
Unfortunately, i think we'll have to find out sooner or later.
