That is a more critical view than I was prepared to take at this point. I find no fault in it, though I may take a slightly more conservative view of the events, at last for now.
I think, if collapse is genuine and happening, China will go all-in. War is good for an economy. A threat to survival is very inspirational. My question is whether China attacks US interests to use them as bargaining chips or makes efforts to keep the US out of it. Granted the current administration isn't much of a deterrent, but having the US involved will only exacerbate the issues. Anything biden gets involved in immediately gets worse than it ever needed to be.

The Han line cuts China in two, 95% of the population live to the west and 5% to the barren cold East.

I am not saying that you are wrong, but all the ills are from political Decisions. They can only be made as long as the same policies are pushed. At some stage the politics will change and so will the politicians. The ability to implement them will fail along with the economy.

Could be but the chaos would have to be controlled, any number of unforeseen random events, could make it grow exponentially, then all control would be lost. The random event number one is changing rain patterns.I see jack mau the billionaire forgive the spelling, seems to have surfaced in Holland looking at their Robo food production. Too little too late, I fear.
