I agree.

My point was just that I think they'll just try to continue their plan, no matter what it costs..
which basically leads to:

I think China is in a position where the Soviet Union was in around 1988

the soviet long time strategy is also still in play.. so yeah. they won't back off..

and there will be great disasters.. and the western countries wont be able to help.. they have to manage their own shit, work on not following the same path..

a disaster is also not a "stop" for me.. a disaster will be worse than it is right now..
