They will no doubt have short term prosperity, but in the long term, concern for their future certainly is there.

I don't see much of an issue in the younger generations. The Chinese government can keep liberalizing their speech

Thats how they've done it for quite a while now

Gotta be careful not to go straight Glasnost though.

I can see a revolution starting but I highly doubt that they'll break up into a bunch of states

But speculation is pointless anyway

Well....

It wouldn't be a far off possibility.

Their culture is really homogenized

Just like America

Also their economy is super connected

Also a bit selfish. A bit too selfish.

The Corporations of China, now those are the real powerhouses that I'm legitimately worried about

Why

Chinese governments come and go, but their money can go anywhere.

Yeah?

In fact, Corporate Superpower is my bet.

Thats not really a thing though

Either that, or another dark age, I dunno

Also accounting for American companies and other of course.

Again, not the most likely, but not entirely impossible.

I think China will likely see some unrest and a bad economy but ultimately be fine

Well for their sake, I'd hope they actually learn from their history, and take care of the more suspicious figures within their government to avoid another damn Warlord era.

Their government can't function split up. They'd have no money

Deficit spending does that

All this talk of China though is reminding me of the ongoing East Turkistan protests.

Also China has a lot of debt too.

It would be like if Chicago split off from the rest of the US.

It would be impossible

So I mean.....

If the US can collapse from our debt, wouldn't be too far off for China

China would enforce their inflation

The Chinese people are way more united than the American

Theres a reason they always say "We Chinese" to refer to themselves

They say that now.

But what happens when the money goes away? Who's to stop them from saying "Fuck You, this will be my China!", "NO, MY CHINA!", "NO, MY CHINA!" and so on.

The government requires money to function. The debt doesn't cause the money to go away, it only causes more of a deficit

The inflation rate rises and doesn't decrease dependency on a central bank

The central bank is the body people go to in order to save their ass during an economic downturn

No no no, what I mean is people within the government fighting for a regime of their own.

For instance, if a warlord said "Fuck you this is mine now" They'd lose all of their investment and tax dollars
