I'll say it again - I don't believe it is possible for a predominately communist socialist state to tolerate Westerv-style freedoms and still be immune to the same pressures that imploded the former USSR.
I sincerely believe that such pressures will cause the PRC to engage in overt and covert policies of new militarism for the mere sake of ideological survival, to the detriment of East Asia, Oceania, and NORAM, with direct military consequences for the latter. |
