Toss a new factor into the old equation: 50 million or so “excess” males of soldier age, the unintended consequence of a generation of the “one child policy.”
In China a man without a wife and heirs is a big problem, an unstable element, and not even honorable.
Fifty million of them, loose in the countryside???
Much better to send them overseas. If they win victories, great. If they die, fine. If they win victories and most of them die, better yet.
Send them to the fertile islands of Asia, with “Land and brides!” as their battle cry. The Russian far east? Forget it. It’s gone.
In 100 years, I believe there will be more Chinese than Africans in Africa.
Fascism is national socialism.
Remove communist ECONOMIC policy alone, and you have today's China.
It is the same old communist pig with a new shade of lipstick, and the west will be smeared with that lipstick because the west kissed the pig.
Joe, thanks for the warning 50 years ago, nobody listened.
And perhaps an Axis, if developments in the ME and Latin America continue apace.
My fear is that the Chinese will start looking at North America for additional living space.
The Germans used the same argument to justify invading Poland.
On August 22, 1939, a few days before the official start of World War II, Hitler authorized his commanders, with these infamous words, to kill “without pity or mercy, all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space [lebensraum] we need”.

Well, you know what, I’m not convinced 09/11 even woke our leaders up. I would hope we’re not headed for something like that, but it doesn’t look good.
I think the notion that China is communist is malformed. It’s a merchantilist totalitarian state. Fascism may indeed describe it, but communism certainly does not.
Pray for the Chinesse Christians that are being repressed! God is the only hope for the Chinese People, and even their national survival in the long run!
There has never been a truly communist nation. Communism is a lie and cannot ever really exist.
Tehy’re just a bunch of liberal Democrats.
The real problem is an hour later our "Betters" feel like more Chinese ass kissing.
True enough...
*ahem* communism works fairly well when there are fewer than 100 or so practitioners in the commune. Social pressure keeps the parasites in check. Much above 100, they take over.
Run a small town that way? Hopeless.
A whole country? It is to laugh...
Problem appears to have been the small size of their industrial and scientific class and a distinct lack of capital.
ping for later
Errrrr, "Jesse Owens", right?
That is right, had to make a number of corrections.
At some point China and Russia must clash over the Russian far east. One population is dying, the other growing.
I agree.
This is similar to the Putin model in Russia, and the model that most of the Soviet Politboro wanted in the USSR for the 1990’s.
